Ruby is an aluminum oxide crystal in which some of the aluminum atoms have been replaced with chromium atoms. Chromium gives ruby its characteristic red color and is responsible for the lasing behavior of the crystal. Chromium atoms Absorb green and blue Light and emit or reflect only red light. For a ruby laser, a crystal of ruby is formed into a cylinder. A fully reflecting mirror is placed on one end and a partially reflecting mirror on the other. A high-intensity lamp is spiraled around the ruby cylinder to provide a flash of white light that triggers the Laser action. The green and blue wavelengths in the flash excite electrons in the chromium atoms to a higher Energy level. Upon returning to their normal state, the electrons emit their characteristic ruby-red light. The mirrors reflect some of this light back and forth inside the ruby crystal, stimulating other excited chromium atoms to produce more red light, until the light pulse builds up to high power and drains the energy stored in the crystal. The optically pumped, solid-state laser uses sapphire as the host lattice and chromium as the active ion. The Emission takes place in the red portion of the spectrum.

Why ruby laser is a solid state laser?
laser production is done by a solid state active working material.
What was the active medium used in first working laser?
A ruby rod Theodore Maiman built the first working laser using a ruby rod while working at Hughes Research Laboratories in Malibu, California. It lased for the first time on May 16, 1960.
Does a ruby laser treat blood vessels?
does the ruby laser treat bolld vessels
Is a laser pointer a ruby laser?
Not usually. Laser pointers are usually diode lasers.
Difference between he-ne laser and ruby laser?
1.he-ne laser is gaseous state. Ruby is solid state laser. 2.he-ne laser requires electrical pumping. ruby laser requires optical pumping. 3.he-ne laser has 4 energy levels. ruby has 3 energy level. 4.he-ne laser gives continuous output. ruby laser gives output in form of pulse 5. he-ne laser is cheaper
How is he-ne laser superior to ruby laser?
Helium neon laser is better than ruby laser or most of the four level lasers are better than three level lasers due to the following reasons: The laser output is continuous in the case of helium-neon laser. But it is in the form of pulse in the ruby laser. Ruby laser requires high power pumping source, whereas Helium-neon laser requires low power pumping source like electric discharge. Efficiency of helium-neon laser is more than ruby laser. The defects due to crystalline imperfections are also present in the ruby laser. But it is not so in the helium-neon laser.
What colour lights does a ruby laser produce?
red
What makes the strongest laser?
^The object I know of is a ruby.
What type of pumping is used in ruby laser and why?
This is kirit vaghela, The answer for the above question is that as far as ruby laser is concerned the pupmping is used is nothing but it is completed by optical pupmping.
What is the Ruby laser wavelength?
A ruby laser is a red laser with a wavelength between 694 nm and 628 nm. 1 nanometer = 1×10−9 meter.
Why is a ruby laser used as a cooling agent?
.ihy;9
How do doctors remove age spots?
Lightening creams such as hydroquinone and laser or light devices such as an IPL or Ruby laser
