Abstract :
The amplitudes of cold longitudinal cavity modes excited as an unwanted side effect of coupling modulation were studied in a CO2laser. Experimental observations agree well with the results of an analytical approach treating the effect of coupling modulation on the cavity field as loss modulation.
