Page 6: What Is A Laser And How Does It Work
what is a laser and how does it work? What is a LASER? The laser is a device that creates continuous visible light energy waves (streams of photons that are referred to as “laser radiation”) with the same amplitude and phase that are flowing in the same direction; meaning they are coherent – they stick together and form a laser beam. -
