Abstract

Observations of amplitude modulation in laser pulses emitted by a discharge-excited Sr ⁺ recombination laser are presented. The mechanism of mode-beating is proposed to account for such behaviour. Comparisons are made with previous reports of similar behaviour in a number of metal vapour laser systems, and suggestions that this phenomenon is the result of self mode-locking are examined.
