TL;DR: The spectrum of a 1.5 J, 25 ns ruby laser is dominated in the 80-120 AA region by 4p-5s transitions from a number of ion stages.
Abstract: The spectrum of a silver plasma produced by a 1.5 J, 25 ns ruby laser is dominated in the 80-120 AA region by 4p-5s transitions from a number of ion stages. Many lines corresponding to the transitions 4p64d-4p54d5s of Ag XI, 4p6-4p55s of Ag XII, 4p5-4p45s of Ag XIII and 4p4-4p35s of Ag XIV have been identified with the aid of Hartree-Fock calculations. Where possible, isoelectronic extrapolations were also used to assist the assignments.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the observation of repetitive self-Q-switched pulses from a continuously operating ruby laser pumped by an argon ion laser at a 3 kHz rate.
Abstract: We report the observation of repetitive self‐Q‐switched pulses from a continuously operating ruby laser pumped by an argon ion laser. 500‐W pulses of 2 nsec width at a 3‐kHz rate are observed. It is tentatively concluded from the pulse characteristics and other data that the phenomenon can be explained by a saturable absorber mechanism.

TL;DR: In this article, photoelectric phenomena and orientational nonlinearity have been studied which are induced in planar liquid crystal layers oriented by SiO and doped with polymethyne dyes (01 wt%) under irradiation with nanosecond laser pulses.
