Laser United States Air Force laser experiment Inventor Charles Hard Townes Launch year 1960 Available? Worldwide Laser beams in fog, reflected on a car windshield Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER or laser) is a mechanism for emitting electromagnetic radiation, often visible light, via the process of stimulated emission. The emitted laser light is (usually) a spatially coherent, narrow low-divergence beam, that can be manipulated with lenses. In laser technology, "coherent light" denotes a light source that produces (emits) light of in-step waves of identical frequency, phase,[1] and polarization. The laser's beam of coherent light differentiates it from light sources that emit incoherent light beams, of random phase varying with time and position. Laser light is generally a narrow-wavelengthelectromagnetic spectrum monochromatic light; yet, there are lasers that emit a broad spectrum of light, or emit different wavelengths of light simultaneously.

It has been used to make huge scientific findings and can help us in many ways. A LASER is a coherent and focused beam of photons. LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiations. This paper describes the LASER technology in details. This paper describes the history and extensibility of LASER. It also explains the concept of principles of LASER technology and how a LASER works? This paper also describes the different types of LASER and the application areas of LASER. Different types of LASER have different operation wavelengths and pump source. This paper also gives the knowledge on how the LASER beam is made and what components are required to make a LASER. The output of a LASER is a coherent electromagnetic field. Keywords: Technology, Applications, electromagnetic Introduction A LASER is a device that emits light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. A LASER is a coherent and focused beam of photons; coherent means that it is all one wavelength, unlike ordinary light which showers on us in many wavelengths. The acronym LASER stands for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation”.

  • Laser Technology and Applications in Assorted Domains
    ISSN (Online) : 2348 - 2001 International Refereed Journal of Reviews and Research Volume 5 Issue 6 November 2017 International Manuscript ID : 23482001V5I6112017-11 (Approved and Registered with Govt. of India) Laser Technology and Applications in Assorted Domains Rashmi Research Scholar Department of Physics Sri Venkateshwara University, Uttar Pradesh, India Dr. Nempal Singh Associate Professor Department of Physics Sri Venkateshwara University Uttar Pradesh, India Abstract The word laser started as an acronym for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation". In this usage, the term "light" includes electromagnetic radiation of any frequency, not only visible light, hence the terms infrared laser, ultraviolet laser, X-ray laser and gamma- ray laser. Because the microwave predecessor of the laser, the maser, was developed first, devices of this sort operating at microwave and radio frequencies are referred to as "masers" rather than "microwave lasers" or "radio lasers". In the early technical literature, especially at Bell Telephone Laboratories, the laser was called an optical maser; this term is now obsolete. A laser that produces light by itself is technically an optical oscillator rather than an optical amplifier as suggested by the acronym. It has been humorously noted that the acronym LOSER, for "light oscillation by stimulated emission of radiation", would have been more correct. With the widespread use of the original acronym as a common noun, optical amplifiers have come to be referred to as "laser amplifiers".
