Original 1962 Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories technical report titled “Time Variation of Axial Frequencies in Ruby Lasers” by C. M. Stickley, R. C. White Jr., and R. A. Bradbury.

Dated November 1, 1962, this early laser research report was produced through the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories, Office of Aerospace Research, United States Air Force, in Bedford, Massachusetts.

The report examines axial frequency behavior and cavity resonances in ruby lasers and includes technical data, tables, graphs, diagrams, and photographic figures relating to early laser operation and optical interference patterns.

Several interior figure sheets are stamped:

“Official Photo USAF – Technical Photo Branch – Cambridge Research Laboratories – L.G. Hanscom Field, Bedford, Mass.”

The report remains housed in its period AFCRL comb-bound cover.

An especially interesting feature of this example is its provenance: this report came from the estate of physicist and laser researcher Viktor Evtuhov, giving it an additional direct connection to the early laser and optical research community of the period.

A strong historical piece for collectors of early laser technology,
