Abstract

Broadband lasers simultaneously generating a large number of longitudinal cavity modes are extremely sensitive to frequency-selective absorption by the media in the laser cavity. The spectroscopic technique based on this phenomenon is known as intracavity laser spectroscopy. The technique is capable of detecting absorption coefficients in the range of 10^-10 cm^-1. The sensitivity limit has been shown to result from a nonlinear interaction. A number of theoretical models describing the nonlinear interaction has been proposed, however, none of these models can adequately describe all experimental data. The present work overviews the theoretical models in a logical connection with experimental evidence obtained under various conditions.
