摘要：

A simple theoretical modeling of the static properties of a fiber laser that includes distributed losses and inhomogeneous pumping is presented. Closed-form expressions for both the output and the backward (at the input mirror) intensities are obtained. The model is based on an extended formulation of the Rigrod's theory. It is shown that the laser responds differently depending on the length of the fiber. In particular, we show that for long (short) lasers optimal output power is achieved with low (high) output-coupler reflectivities. Experimental evidence of these results is obtained with Nd-doped fiber lasers with various lengths. (C) 1995 Optical Society of America
