Abstract
The energy efficiency of a forsterite laser was investigated. Calculat ions show that the use of real components limits the efficiency to app roximately 10%. Some ways of optimising the parameters of such a laser are suggested. The calculated results are on the whole in agreement w ith the experimental data, including those obtained by other authors. A description is given of the first all-solid forsterite laser and way s of improving it further are proposed.
