Abstract
Avalanches of resonant phonons generated by stimulated emission within the optically excited (E) over bar(E-2) doubler are observed in a 400 -mu m thick fiber of single-crystalline rubp. In comparison with bull; ruby, the avalanches develop fully in a shorter rime because the phon ons are confined to the active medium by reflection from the fiber bou ndaries. Position-independent rate equations adequately describe tile dynamics.
