Cutoff of ruby laser emission by pulsed irradiation

Abstract

OCTOBER the modulus-frequency function, as indicated in Fig. 1. A further condition occurs when for 1<0.1578 the locus indents as shown in Fig. 2. Equation (1) may be written as where G g = -and S=s For the frequency response, with S=jx, where x = w / w is a nondimensional frequency, Wn3 w.with This modulus function has real unequal turning-point values, for the modulus varying as a function of x , providing (1 -2r)2 > 3 giving 1;<0.259 as the condition for which a resonance peak is exhibited.For an indented form of locus, designating y as the imaginary part of FGx), the change of y with x must be of the type shown in Fig. 3, Le., there must be three turning points. From (3);Differentiating with respect to x for the turning points gives 32' -(7 -*')e' + (5 -12r')~ -1 0, (6) with z =$. Here e and r are to be determined to give the condition where indentation just occurs. Fig. 4 shows the form of variation of y with x when this does not occur, e.g., for a frequency response locus as shown in Fig. 1. For the curve of Fig. 3 to degenerate to that of Fig. 4, the frequency values xl and 2 2 must coalesce, i.e., ( 6 ) must factorize to Equating coefficients of (6) and (7) gives and Eliminating C2 from (8) and (9) gives which factorizes to (al)(a -1.9594)(a -0.036) .(a + 1.182) = 0 (11) The root a = 1 gives r = O in (8) or (9) while a =0.036 gives a negative value. As z must be positive for physically-realizable frequency values, a = 1.9594 is the valid root. Substituting this value in (8) or (9) then gives 6=0.1578 as the transition condition.

The inverse Nyquist diagram is therefore a parabola the shape of which does not vary with r; a typical curve is shown in Fig. 5.
