After passing through an aperture and a magnetic field, many of the atoms in the beam are left in the upper energy level of the lasing transition.
Frances FitzGerald, "Way Out There in the Blue: Reagan, Star Wars and the End of the Cold War", pg. 129 Since the lasing medium was fairly small, a single bomb could host a number of them and attack multiple ICBMs in a single burst.
Depending on the optical design one or more of these transitions can be lasing simultaneously; the most commonly used lines are 458 nm, 488 nm and 514.5 nm.
In some lasing media this is impossible.
Saturated operation meant that the maximum possible power was extracted from the lasing medium, resulting in the high peak energy of 0.3 mJ.
The 0.002 nm bandwidth of the lasing medium is well over 10,000 times narrower than the spectral width of a light-emitting diode (whose spectrum is shown here for comparison), with the bandwidth of a single longitudinal mode being much narrower still.
