Abstract

In this paper, from a new perspective of the time (pump time, relaxation time, and stimulated emission time) of the cycle for the active particles at each energy level, the concept of the number of iterative pumping of the laser medium is introduced, and the equivalent model of the laser when it emits light in a steady state is established. By deriving the number of times that the laser medium is repeatedly pumped in the light exit area when the light is emitted, the analytical expression of the laser output power is deduced, and the law of the laser output power changing with the laser parameters is obtained. By fitting and comparing with the experimental results, the new model and the experimental results are in good agreement, the related parameters obtained are also very consistent with the literature, and the changes of multiple parameters and temperature are obtained. These results, especially the expression for the analysis of the laser output power pave a new way for the research and design of optical pumped lasers.
