Extensive internal self-damage in a high quality ruby laser oscillator rod at a moderate output power density is reported. The recorded giant pulse envelope was quite distinctive both in its exceedingly rapid rise time (< 2 nsec) and in the depth of modulation. The damage consisted of many small bubbles, approximately 200 μm in diameter, uniformly distributed throughout the active region of the oscillator rod.
