The Laser

Today, the laser, with its ability to generate coherent light, has become an indispensable tool in optics and not only in optics. Lasers come in a variety of types, hardly to be counted. Coherent light can be generated from the far infrared to the near ultraviolet. It is hard to imagine optical diagnostics or communication techniques without the laser. In huge plants they serve for fusion research, and as pin-sized light sources they are found in CD players. They serve as a scalpel in the hands of surgeons for medical operations and for the cutting, drilling, and hardening of materials of all kinds. A vast literature exists where this variety is documented [10.1].KeywordsBifurcation DiagramSpontaneous EmissionChaotic AttractorPhoton NumberSaturable AbsorberThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
