		The mirror and grating are tilted to align them with the region of dye that is being pumped by the N2 laser, rather than with the walls of the cuvette.
		Because of that, the superfluorescent lasing [assuming I’ve identified it correctly] was brightest across from the cuvette and at about the same height off the bench, or perhaps a bit higher — the excited region was only approximately horizontal, and its shape was not a very straight line.
		This is a mixture of superfluorescent lasing and reflection from the cuvette walls.
