We present evidence for the quenching of Einstein A-coefficients in an Ar-ion laser discharge due to the presence of a high intensity laser flux. The reduction in spontaneous emission intensity when lasing occurs was found to be dependent on the Einstein A-coefficient for transitions originating from the same upper level. 9 refs., 3 figs.
