A Pulsed Ruby Laser System for Use in Dynamic Photo Mechanics

Abstract

This report was written to demonstrate how a pulsed Q-switched ruby laser provides an excellent light source for use in various areas of holography and photoelasticity. The present investigation was undertaken in order to develop a ruby laser system suitable for photomechanics research.
