Abstract
The effects of phase-interrupting and velocity-changing collisions between active and perturber atoms on the spectral profile of a gas laser are studied. Exact analytical results for the density matrix are presented for the case of strong collisions in a unidirectional ring laser, and the laser intensity is then evaluated in the Doppler limit under the condition of self-consistency. The washout of the hole burning in the steady-state population difference and the broadening of the laser line shape are discussed. The results of the third-order perturbation theory are compared with the exact calculations valid for an arbitrarily intense pump.
