Preferred Label : coherent source;
Detailed label : coherent source in spectrochemistry;
IUPAC definition : Those sources where the radiation has a constant phase relationship between waves
spatially as well as temporally, e.g. lasers. Non-coherent optical sources emit radiation
which is randomly distributed in phase, spatially as well as temporally. Most sources
which are used in spectroscopy and for spectrochemical analysis conform to this latter
group.;
