Homework Statement
Consider a Fabry-Perot laser, length 0.1m, with an unsaturated gain coefficient, [itex]\gammao[/itex]=1m-1
one of the mirrors of the Fabry-Perot cavity is perfectly reflecting, the other reflects 95% of the light and transmits 5%. wit the aid of a brief calculation explain why steady state laser oscillation is expected?
i had no idea on how to approach this question so i did some research and i found this book kind of helpful under this link:

Homework Equations
after reading a chapter in the book the steady state condition is R1R2exp(2aL-j2wL/c)=1
The Attempt at a Solution
since i am not given any frequency value i only solved the condition for the round trip amplitude coefficent and the way i calculated it was R1R2exp(2aL)=1 --->0.95exp(2*1*0.1)=1.15
please help i cam confused on how to prove this
