The term 'laser' is an acronym, standing for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The key point is that the light is generated by stimulated emission — a process in which an ...

Gould bought a cheap notebook and started writing down “Some rough calculations on the feasibility of a LASER: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.” The key to creating a ...

Lasers (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation), which produce an intense and highly directional beam of light, are used in many teaching and research applications on RIT's campus.

He had done his PhD on using masers (microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) to amplify and measure radio signals from the spaces between galaxies. He knew the Holmdel antenna ...
