Abstract
Summary form only, as given. A single transverse and longitudinal mode &-switched laser has been obtained with a ruby rod and a saturable absorber between two spherical mirrors. The saturable absorber was a solut,ion of vanadium phtalocyanine in nitrobenzene. The rod was placed at the center of a spiral flashtube, and the two spherical mirrors were placed at any position between the confocal and concentric ones. If the phtalocyanine concentration was raised up to the point at which a single laser pulse was obtained, a single transverse mode was observed in the light output. It was found however that, in order to obtain a single transverse mode, the positron of the ruby rod within the resonator was critical.
