This resource, part of the Spectroscopy Lab Suite, illustrates the physics of a Ruby Laser. Students can create conduction and impurity bands, and electronic transitions, to match the observed spectra of the Laser. The energy of the levels and the pumping energy for the flash tube can be adjusted.

The Helium Neon Laser activity explores the same principle as the Ruby Laser activity, but is complicated by the need to include transitions between additional energy levels.
