(a) Evolution of the signal wave field being pumped by forward and backward components of the pumping wave within a cavity of L = 14l0 ≈ 3.32 μm. (b) Power evolution of the signal wave within a propagation distance of 3.32 μm for CPM pumping, single-pass pumping, and without pumping. (c) The output power of the signal wave varies with the input pumping power with cavity and without cavity, where the thresholds Pp are marked out for the OPA gain condition (Ps/Ps (0) = 1). (d) The output power of the signal wave varies with r2 for the cases of r1 = rm, 0.99, and 0.96.
