Abstract We present a novel four-mirror cavity with two active gains to combine power intracavity and also give a detailed theoretical analysis of the combined gain. By using the effective field method, the four-mirror cavity with two gain media can be regarded as a linear resonator with one effective combined gain (ECG), and we procure a theoretical model of the ECG and deduce its exact analytical expression. When the two branch gains are close to each other, the combined gain can be reduced to their product, and the simplified presentation of ECG has been demonstrated. The combined output power which directly reflects the small signal ECG of the four-mirror cavity is studied experimentally, and the results are in good agreement with the theoretical ones.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
