THE LASER REVOLUTION

Lasers an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation are devices that emit coherent light through a process of optical amplification. They operate on the principle of stimulated emission where photons stimulate the emission of additional photons resulting in a highly focused and intense beam of light. As technology advances new types of lasers continue to emerge including semiconductor lasers fiber lasers and solid-state lasers each with unique benefits and applications. The ongoing research and development in this field promise to unlock even more innovative uses for lasers in the future.
