Abstract
A method to determine the variation of the average refractive index in a ruby laser caused by the direct coupling of Cr3+ ions to the average strains of the crystal lattice is presented. The method involves creation of a spatial variation of the population inversion density in the laser rod, and then measurement of the resulting dynamic divergence of the laser. The results obtained are in reasonable agreement with the values determined by other methods reported previously.
