摘要：

We have studied the small-signal gain and the saturation parameter of a Tm:YAG laser in a longitudinal-mode oscillation. By using the cavity loss method, a maximum small-signal gain of 4.3%/cm at a crystal temperature of 15 degrees C and a maximum saturation parameter of 13 kW/cm(2) at a crystal temperature of 25 degrees C were determined with an oscillation wavelength of 2013 nm.
