SCIENCE ACE—LASER Kevin Chan
Content • Acronym of LASER • Types of laser • Usage and application of lasers • Mechanism of laser production • Comparison between normal LED light and laser
What is L.A.S.E.R.? • L.A.S.E.R. stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
Types of Lasers • Solid-state lasers invisible • Gas lasers visible • Excimer lasers invisible • Dye lasers invisible • Semiconductor lasers invisible
Usage and application of lasers • Industry—materials processing metal cutting • Medical—reattach retinas • Technology—reading of CDs
Mechanism of laser • Stimulated emission is the process of how light particles (photons) are produced • It involves the electronic transition of electrons from higher energy level to lower energy level
