  • Abstract
    Experimental observations recently reported by Birubaum and Fincher for a ruby laser pumped by a pulsed argon-ion laser are theoretically interpreted. Remarkable agreement between theory and experiment is obtained for the characteristic time constants when the two trains of spikes are assumed to be produced by the p = 0 and p = 1 modes.
