摘要：

The quantum-limited linewidth of a short HeNe 3.39-mu m laser was measured and seen to increase with increasing nonuniformity of the intracavity intensity distribution, Experiments were done inside as well as outside the had-cavity regime; in this regime the polarization of the gain medium can not be adiabatically eliminated but acts as a memory, Good quantitative agreement with theory is obtained inside as well as outside the bad-cavity regime, The effect of nonuniformity is well described by the longitudinal Petermann K-factor. The bad-cavity and nonuniformity effects can be separated from each other as predicted by theory.
