Abstract

A general analytical-numerical procedure has been established to calculate the amplitude of a laser beam propagating through an active amplifying medium, valid for arbitrary spatial inhomogeneities. The characteristic parameters representing the medium are small-signal gain, refractive index and saturation intensity.
