We have observed that at certain levels of laser power, an argon ion laser oscillates in only two strong modes. The frequency difference between these two modes is an integer multiple of the cavity fundamental beat frequency and increases with the laser power. Analysis of this effect shows that pulses from such a laser are 0.3π rather than π pulses.
