Monolithic Unidirectional Planar Ring Laser
Abstract
Operation based on induced birefringence of stressed laser medium. Unidirectional operation of ring laser made possible by polarization-dependent differential loss induced by some combination of reciprocal and nonreciprocal polarization effects. Concept arises from theoretical analysis of monolithic unidirectional nonplanar ring laser described in article, "Monolithic Unidirectional Nonplanar Ring Laser" (LAR-14146). Potential for use in metrology and spectroscopy.
