Abstract
The word laser is an acronym that stands for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation." In a fairly unsophisticated sense, a laser is nothing more than a special flashlight. Energy goes in, usually in the form of electricity, and light comes out. But the light emitted from a laser differs from that from a flashlight, and the differences are worth discussing. You might think that the biggest difference is that lasers are more powerful than flashlights, but this conception is more often wrong than right. True, some lasers are enormously powerful, but many are much weaker than even the smallest flashlight. So power alone is not a distinguishing characteristic of laser light. But for now it 's enough to say that there are three differences between light from a laser and light from a flashlight. First, the laserbeam is much narrower than a flashlight beam. Second, the white light of a flashlight beam contains many different colors of light, while the beam from a laser contains only one, pure color. Third, all the light waves in a laserbeam are aligned with each other, while the light waves from a flashlight are arranged randomly. The significance of this difference will become apparent as you read about the nature of light. Lasers come in all sizes—from tiny diode lasers small enough to fit in the eye of a needle to huge military and research lasers that fill a three-story building.And different lasers can produce many different colors of light. The "light" produced by carbon dioxide lasers and neodymium lasers cannot be seen by the human eye because it is in the infrared portion of the spectrum. Interestingly, few of these lasers produce even as much power as an ordinary 100-W lightbulb. What 's more, lasers are not

    3. Laser: Acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The laser produces a coherent source of light with a narrow beam and a narrow spectral bandwidth (about 2cm). Lasers in fiber optics are usually solid-state semiconductor types. Lasers are used to provide the high-powered, tightly controlled light wave lengths necessary for high-speed, long-distance optical fiber transmissions.…

    The spectral width is an important factor in determining the wavelength between LED and laser transmitters. LED spectral width is much wider than laser spectral width. Laser transmitters are considered to function at the highest level of performance, because a laser transmitter’s spectral width is much narrower than that of LED transmitters.…

    Electrons from an atom can absorb energy and become excited to move from the stable “ground state” energy level to a higher energy level. Imagine one of the electrons “jumping” from the second energy level to the unoccupied 6th energy level, then “relaxing” back to the 5th energy level. As these electrons relax and go back from the higher energy level to the lower energy level, energy is released as visible light. This is the result of photons emitted (released) as electron energy is lowered. Photons are thought to behave as waves. For ocean waves the distance form wave tip to wave tip can be measured, this distance is called the wavelength. Waves with a large amount of energy have a shorter wavelength, and waves with lower energy have longer wavelengths. Similarly, high energy photons have short wavelengths, which for light in the visible range, is the purple end of the spectrum, about 400nm. Conversely light in the red region has a wavelength of 650nm and has a lower energy.…

    Laser hair removal is a type of medical procedure that makes the use of laser, a pulsating intense light beam to take out unwanted hair. During this process, a laser radiation is made to penetrate through your skin to reach out to each of the hair follicles individually. Under the intensity of this extreme heat induced by the laser rays, the hair follicles get damaged inhibiting hair growth in future. Although this treatment delays hair growth to a great extent, however it cannot do away with your body hair entirely. It takes quite a more removal sessions as well as periodic maintenance to render a hair-free period.…

    By definition, laser tag is a team or individual activity where players attempt to score points by tagging targets, typically with a handheld infrared emitting targeting device. In indoor play, a visible laser combined with theatrical fog typically provide the visual effect of firing, while having no actual role in transmitting the fire signal. Laser tag is popular with a wide range of ages. When compared to paintball, people like laser tag better because it is painless and does not use any physical projectiles. Indoor versions of laser tag may be considered less physically demanding because most indoor venues prohibit running or roughhousing. Now whether the venue follows their own…

    There’s a pause and every eye, that holds what feels like a laser beam, penetrates my entire being. Imagining throwing my freshly bought food into this rank garbage can, makes every part of me twist; I’d rather throw my coffee into this teacher’s face, but holding myself back from what is so tempting, I bite my lip, shed a tear and unwilling force myself to submit to this irritating and unnecessary suggestion. Waste of money, waste of time. Teacher’s like this have a cold-stone heart, if any heart at all and need to find a new time and place to take out their personal life on something else.…
