“ In the War of Worlds, written before the
turn of 20th century, HG Wells told a
fanciful story of how Martians invaded
and almost conquered the earth. Their
weapon was a mysterious sword of heat,
from which flickered a ghost of a beam of
light. It felled men in their tracks, made
lead run like water and flashed anything
combustible into masses of flame. Today
Well’s word of heat comes close to reality
in the laser…………”

CONSTRUCTION
 In ruby laser 4 cm length and 5 mm
diameter rod is generally used.
 Both the ends of the rods are highly
polished and made strictly parallel.
The ends are silvered in such a way,
one becomes partially reflected and
the other end fully reflected.
 The ruby rod is surrounded by
xenon flash tube, which provides
the pumping light to excite the
chromium ions in to upper energy
levels.
Figure 6 Ruby Laser [12]
11
CONSTRUCTION
 Xenon flash tube emits thousands
joules of energy in few milli
seconds, but only a part of that
energy is utilized by the chromium
ions while the rest energy heats up
the apparatus.
 A cooling arrangement is provided
to keep the experimental set up at
normal temperatures
Figure 7 Ruby Laser [13]
12
WORKING OF RUBY LASER
 Ruby crystal is surrounded by
xenon tube. Ruby crystal is fully
silvered at one side and partially
silvered at the other end.
 A strong beam of blue green light
is made to fall up on crystal from
xenon tube and this light is
absorbed by the crystal.
 Because of this, many electrons
from ground state or normal state
are raised to the excited state or
higher state and electron falls to
meta-stable state.
Figure 8 Ruby Laser [14]
13
WORKING OF RUBY LASER
 During this transition photon is not emitted but excess energy of the
electrons absorbed in crystal lattice.
 As electron drops to meta-stable state they remain there for certain time ~
10-6 sec.
 Thus the incident blue green light from tube increases the number of
electron in meta-stable state and then the population inversion can be
achieved.
 If a light of different frequency is allowed to fall on this material, the
electrons move back and forth between silvered ends of the crystal.
 While moving through they get stimulated and excited electrons radiate
energy.
 Thus released photon has the same frequency as that of incident photon and
is also in exactly same phase.
 When the intensity of light beam is increased the same process is repeated.
14
WORKING OF RUBY LASER
 Thus released photon has the same frequency as that of incident photon and
is also in exactly same phase.
 When the intensity of light beam is increased the same process is repeated.
 Finally extremely intensified beam of light energies from the semi silvered
side of the crystal.
 This way it is possible to get extremely intensified and coherent beam of light
from the crystal. This beam is nothing but higher energetic beam – i.e. LASER
beam.

APPLICATIONS
 Ruby lasers are used in a number of applications where short pulses of red light
are required. Holography around the world produce holographic portraits with
ruby lasers, in sizes up to a meter squared.
 Many non-destructive testing labs use ruby lasers to create holograms of large
objects such as aircraft to look for weaknesses in the lining.
 Ruby lasers are used extensively in tattoo and hair removal.
 Ruby lasers can be used for measurement of plasma properties such as electron
density and temperature.
 Ruby lasers are used to remove the melanin of the skin.
