The scientific satellite, Diadème with two radio transmitters and a laser - Image by Pline and The Museum of Air and Space in Paris, France

An acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation, lasers are a focused beam which has many applications in today's world. See the main Laser article for a history of this technology

Subcategories

Gas lasers - a laser in which the electric current is discharged through a gas to produce coherent light
Laser applications - the uses and benefits of lasers
Laser excitation - using lasers to excite isotopes to induce separation or for other purposes
Laser transitions - or amplifier transition, a transition between two electronic levels of some laser-active ion
Pump lasers - lasers that use energy transfer from an external source into the gain medium of the laser
Quantum well lasers - a laser diode in which the active region of the device is narrow enough to cause quantum confinement
Ring lasers - a laser in which the laser cavity has the shape of a ring
Semiconductor lasers - lasers based on a semiconductor gain media, where optical gain is achieved by stimulated emission at an interband transition
Solid-state lasers - a laser that uses a gain medium that is solid rather than liquid or gas
Surface emitting lasers - a laser in which light propagates in the direction perpendicular to the surface, a type of semiconductor laser
