laser - CISMeF

Preferred Label : laser;

IUPAC definition : A source of ultraviolet, visible, or infrared radiation which produces light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation from which the acronym is derived. The light emitted is coherent except for superradiance emission. The essential elements of a laser are: 1, an active medium; 2, a pumping process to make a population inversion; and 3, suitable geometry of optical feedback elements. The active medium consists of a host material (gas, liquid or solid) containing an active species.;
