摘要：

A master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) with variable amplifier gain lengths was built to demonstrate power enhancement of an alkali vapor laser. A small signal gain of 0.91 / cm for two different gain lengths was observed. For a 2 cm long amplifier gain length an amplification of 7.9 dB was observed. (c) 2008 Optical Society of America.
