Make a rough estimate of the amount of energy that can be delivered by a ruby laser whose crystal is 5.0 mm in diameter and 0.050 m long. Assume the pulse of light lasts 5.0 X 10-6 s. The density of aluminum oxide (A12O3) is 3.7 × 103 kg/m3. Use the data in the discussion of Fig. 13.6 and the fact that the chromium ions make a 1.79 eV lasing transition. How much power is available per pulse?
