Abstract

Amplification in rare gas halide lasers is limited by the presence of nonsaturable loss within the media. Inclusion of nonsaturable loss in a two-level system with a bound tower state shows that for a pulse whose duration is shorter than the energy storage time r_s of the medium, the maximum energy fluence, E_max (J/cm²), is approximately.
