Explanation:
Ruby is a solid-sate laser which produces a deep red light.
The output of ruby laser is not continuous due to the movement of electrons in the crystal.
The electrons jump to the higher energy state when supplied with energy but do not stay stay there for long and move back to the lower energy state by releasing a non-detectable beam.
When they move back, they stay there for some time before coming back to the ground state and releasing a detectable beam.
This behavior causes a non-continuous output.
