摘要：

We develop a general plane wave theory for cw diode-pumped solid state lasers which is valid for arbitrary saturation and outcoupling. Our model is based on the steady state rate equations for a two-manifold system coupled to the growth of the laser field and the depletion of the pump. This model is entirely analytic and predicts: a linear photon flux conservation law; the modification to Beer's law pump depletion due to outcoupling, and its influence on the pump threshold; optimal crystal lengths and outcouplings as functions of temperature. We give some examples which show optimal lengths and reflectivities for Tm:YAG.
