Popis: We propose a new method for the determination of the pumping coefficient dependence upon the variation of the flashlamp opacity in a pulsed Nd:YAG laser oscillator which cannot be determined by existing methods. The method that we propose is based on the measure of the build-up time during which the excited-state population is being pumped up to its threshold lasing value.
