Abstract: | Under strongcw-excitation ruby crystals exhibit complex anti-Stokes fluorescence spectra in the near ultraviolet. Based on ring dye laser excitation spectra, fluorescence decay and concentration dependence, we show that these spectra can be decomposed into single ion emissions and a cooperative emission at the double energy of the2
