An Nd-doped YAG laser emits 100 mW at 1064 nm and has an optical gain bandwidth of 80 GHz. The laser medium has a spontaneous decay rate of 200 µs and loss coefficient ???? of 0.2 cm-1 . If the laser is 8 cm long and 1 cm in diameter, and one of its mirrors can be considered perfect, while the other is 95% reflective, find the threshold population inversion density of the Nd ions, the photon cavity lifetime and the photon density in the cavity

A Ti-doped sapphire laser emits at 800 nm and is mode-locked. It consists of a Ti-sapphire rod with refractive index 1.4 that is 10 cm long within a cavity that is 2 m in length (the laser pulses propagate in air except when passing through the rod). You can neglect the reflectivity of the rod surfaces, assuming they are coated with perfect anti-reflective coatings. The spectral width of the laser is 200 THz. What is the resulting pulse width, pulse...
