Analogously with an electrode oscillator the constituent components of the laser [are] a tuned circuit, a feedback system and a power supply. 1, record 3, English, - oscillator
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
In order to use ... a [laser] medium as [an] optical oscillator, the optical gain arising from the inverted population must exceed the loss in the resonator ... To accomplish this, the optical path through the laser material is made long in one direction, and highly reflecting mirrors are placed so that they send the light back and forth along the length of the material. The mirrors provide feedback ... and thereby convert the optical amplifier into an optical oscillator. Oscillation than takes place only between the mirrors. 3, record 3, English, - oscillator
