Abstract :
Based on ununiformity of stored energy in laser gain medium due to the lower absorbed pump energy distribution uniformity in reality, the effective fill factor f (2 - f) of Frantz-Nodvik(F-N)Equation for Zig-zag Optical Path Slab Laser Amplifiers is modified by using the absorbed pump energy density.
