Abstract

Anomalous dispersion and hole-burning in inhomogeneously broadened lasers are well known for producing shifts in the laser operating frequency from the cavity frequency, effects which are increased as the cavity linewidth becomes large compared with the homogeneously broadened linewidth of the medium. Special effects including multiple solutions have been predicted by Bennett and England for Fabry-Perot lasers under experimentally realizable conditions. The most important feature of the predictions is the pushing of the solutions away from the cavity resonance as the cavity is tuned within a homogeneously broadened linewidth of the material resonance.
