lasers class

It is an acronym for Light Amplification By Stimulated Emission Of Radiation . It is a process by which we get a coherent, highly monochromatic and perfectly parallel beam of light. Lasers may also be called as optical masses. It has been invented and developed in 1959. The laser..

) The lasers are used for drilling tiny holes in diamonds for drawing fine wires. (iv) They are used in precision surveying. Because of its high intensity and exceptional directionality, the laser is an excellent tool for surveying. In order to be certain that a bridge or tunnel..

(in the ruby, at the desired frequency). Such an arrangement is called a Fabry-Perot resonator. Pumping process is carried with the help of flash tube. The spiral flash tube pumps light energy into the ruby in pulses, which are generated by the charge and discharge of a capacito..

The smallest lasers used for telephone communication over optical fibres have as their active medium a semiconducting gallium arsenide crystal about the size of a pin-hea..

How a Laser Works - The below figure shows schematically how a population inversion can be achieved so that laser action-or lasing us it is called can occur. Atoms from the ground state E 1 are "pumped" up to an excited state E 3 , for example by the absorption of light energy f..

.H. Townes and his co-workers. They discovered MASER. The principle of maser was adopted for the radiations of visible region by A. Schawloo in collaboration with Townes in the year 1958. The first laser device was developed by T .H. Maiman in the year 1960. It was "Fabry Parot Optical ca..

The figure shows the elements of a type of laser that is often found in student laboratories. The glass discharge tube is filled with a 80%-20% mixture of the inert gases helium and neon. Helium is the "pumping" medium and neon is the "lasing" medium. The above figure is a simplified vers..

Diagnostic Kits - Laser Microsurgery - Microsurgery is any operation done with the aid of microscopes. Surgeons work with spectacle - mounted magnifiers or with microscopes. Using this technique, surgeons can remove adenoma, tumours of the pituitary gland, without damaging the gland itsel..
