Abstract: Excitation of Y_2.94Tm_0.06Al₅O₁₂ crystals with ruby laser radiation resulted in generation of stimulated radiation due to the ³F₄–³H₅ transition. The duration of the output pulses was approximately five times the duration of the pump pulses. This was attributed to the accumulation of excitation at ¹D₂ and ³H₄ levels.
