Abstract
We present evidence for the quenching of Einstein A coefficients in an Ar-ion laser discharge due to the presence of the high-intensity laser flux. The reduction in spontaneous emission intensity when lasing occurs is found to be dependent on the Einstein A coefficient for transitions originating from the same upper level.Keywords
