  • Abstract
    Intracavity gain gratings are theoretically demonstrated to exhibit diffraction efficiencies larger than unity at pumping powers below lasing threshold. Experiments performed using a Nd- YVO4 microlaser demonstrate huge enhancements of diffraction efficiency and angular selectivity.
