My new idea was that because of the Stokes frequency shift, this Brillouin Stokes line could experience unsaturated gain in the inhomogeneously broadened ruby laser. So the Stokes beam, re-reflected by the back laser mirror, returned to the liquid as a strong signal, joining the initial laser beam as a new wavelength, strong enough to cause its own Brillouin shift.

Earlier, in 1962 Boyle and colleague, Don Nelson, developed the ruby laser in 1962, and with another colleague, David Thomas, he helped to develop the semiconductor injection laser, which is found in many electronic appliances.
