Abstract

An effect of an SBS feedback mirror started by initial laser radiation is analyzed for loop and ring SBS-mirror schemes. It has been shown experimentally that the laser output power can be increased considerably by using both feedback schemes for stimulated scattering excitation as compared to SBS mirrors without feedback. The observed distinctions in the action of two lasers with these schemes are explained by different nonlinear mechanisms of SBS-amplification in these cases.
