Funk And Wagnalls Carbon Dioxide
941 wordsCarbon dioxide lasers are one of the most powerful lasers ever constructed. The word LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers are devices that amplify light and produce light beams, ranging from infrared to ultraviolet. A light beam is consistent when its waves or photons, increase while mixing together. Laser light can be extremely intense, highly directional and very pure in color. Gas lasers such as the carbon dioxide laser is made active by ultraviolet...

Solid State Lasers Back And Forth
2,014 wordsLaser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. In the last century many types of lasers have been used for many different applications from welding to surgery to military and even many uses in every day life by harnessing the principles of light and stimulated emission. To understand how lasers work we must first understand the physics behind light waves. Light is emitted from a source and travels in straight lines and when it strikes an object is either absorbe...

Solid State Lasers Gas Lasers
393 wordsThere are many different types of lasers. The laser medium can be a solid, gas, liquid or semiconductor. Lasers are commonly designated by the type of lasing material employed: Solid-state lasers have lasing material distributed in a solid matrix (such as the ruby or neodymium-yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) lasers). The neodymium-YAG laser emits infrared light at 1, 064 nanometers (nm). A nanometer is 1 x 10 - 9 meters. Gas lasers (helium and helium-neon, He Ne, are the most common gas lasers) ha...

D Sezgin Sun Types Of Lasers Laser
684 wordsThe light beam produced by most lasers is pencil-sized, and maintains its size and direction over very large distances; this sharply focused beam of coherent light is suitable for a wide variety of applications. Lasers have been used in industry since 1964 for cutting and boring metals and other materials, and for inspecting optical equipment. In medicine, they have been used in surgical operations. Lasers have been used in several kinds of scientific research. Lasers have opened new fields in s...

Solid State Lasers Beam Of Light
1,749 wordsL A S E R S Did you know that some laser beams are small enough and powerful enough to drill two hundred holes on a spot as tiny as the head of a pin? The first major advancement in laser development came in 1954. This was the year that Charles H. Townes, an American physicist, created a device that amplified microwaves. This device was actually called a maser at first, which was short for Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation Masers. It produced microwaves of just one freq...

Fibre Crystal Mid Infrared Lasers
1,998 wordsFibre crystal mid-infrared lasers As we know, a laser is an optical oscillator made out of a gas, liquid or solid with mirrors at both ends (see, e. g. , The Computer Language Company Inc. , 2007 b). To make the laser work, the material is pumped with light or electricity. This pumping has excited the electrons and has caused them to jump to more high orbits. Some electrons do spontaneously drop back to lower energy levels what releases photons (i. e. quantum's of light). The photons do then sti...

Solid State Lasers Beam Of Light
1,373 wordsA laser (LAY zum) is a device that produces a very narrow beam of light. This is called coherent light. It is formed from producing light at equal wavelengths in phase. The result is a beam of light that does not stray from it? s path. Conventional light bulbs produce incoherent light. This form of light diffuses immediately upon radiation from its source. The size of a laser beam varies greatly. Some lasers produce beams that are small enough to fit 200 beams in an area the size of a pinhead. T...

Bits Per Second Speed Of Light
1,533 wordsMr. Cruz Physics honors Lasers Raphael Radon Mr. Cruz Physics honors Through out the past few years lasers have been going through many innovations thus having a tremendous impact on technology. What is a laser? A laser is a special kind of light. The initials stand for (L-A-S-E-R light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) Only the light that is commonly know to us is the type that spreads out. Laser light is in a straight beam. There are many types of lasers, some make holograms, ...

Stimulated Emission Nobel Prize
1,216 wordsThe Wonderful World of Lasers Laser stands for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers work by producing an intense beam of bright light that travels in one direction. The laser has the unique ability to produce one specific color or wavelength of light, which can be varied in its intensity and pulse duration. The newest laser systems have become remarkably precise and selective, allowing treatment results and safety levels not previously available. All lasers contain...

Solid State Lasers Funk And Wagnalls
1,294 wordspeople see Lasers When most people see a laser beam they are amazed by its unique physical properties. Laser light is so unique from other light because it is coherent; unlike ordinary light, which travels in all directions, laser light travels in a straight beam. The word laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. The history of the laser is very interesting. Lasers have changed immensely since they were first invented. Before the laser was invented, Charle...
