_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n_:

     This data came from an investigation of an experimental
     laser at Bellcore.  It was a tunable laser, in the
     sense that both its wavelength and power output were
     controllable.

_U_s_a_g_e_:

     data(laser)

_F_o_r_m_a_t_:

     A data frame with observations on the variables `If'
     and `Ir' (the currents applied to the front and rear of
     the laser), and `power' and `lambda' (the output power
     and wavelength).

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s_:

     Rotation helped the experimental physicists to charac-
     terize the laser, which turned out not to be a very
     good one, due to its unstable operating region.

     This data initially came to the statistics research
     group when Janette Cooper asked Paul Tukey to help her
     analyze the data she had collected to describe the
     laser.
