Abstract

We show, that the unbalanced bi-directional passive self- injection permits to obtain a pulsed unidirectional operation at the reference atomic absorption line in a ring Ar³⁺ pumped Ti³⁺:Al₂O₃ laser with a repetition rate of order of 10³ - 10⁵ Hz. The model used for the description of this type of laser is based on the adaptation of the rate equations systems. By computer simulation, the dependence for the repetition rate from the laser parameters and the switching time is obtained.
