Abstract

We propose an experiment for strong light amplification at multiple total reflections from active gaseous media.

► We propose to put a glass sphere inside an excited gas. ► Then to put a light ray inside the glass in a whispering gallery mode. ► If the light is resonant to gas excitation, it will be amplified at every reflection. ► In ms time the light in the glass will be amplified, and will melt the glass. ► A liquid shell kept integer by electrostriction forces is the ball lightning model.
