How does a laser work?

Published: 30 March 2017

The term "Laser"

LASER is an acronym and stands for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation". In simple terms: Light particles (photons) excited with current emit energy in the form of light. This light is bundled into a beam. Thus, the laser beam is formed.

Technical structure of a laser

All lasers consist of three components:

  • An external pump source
  • The active laser medium
  • The resonator

The pump source guides external energy to the laser.The active laser medium is located on the inside of the laser. Depending on the design, the laser medium can consist of a gas mixture (CO2 laser), of a crystal body (YAG laser) or glass fibers (fiber laser).

When energy is fed to the laser medium through the pump, it emits energy in the form of radiation.The active laser medium is located between two mirrors, the "resonator". One of these mirrors is a one-way mirror. The radiation of the active laser medium is amplified in the resonator. At the same time, only a certain radiation can leave the resonator through the one-way mirror. This bundled radiation is the laser radiation.

Properties of a laser beam are monochromatic and high coherence

Laser radiation has three fundamental properties

Monochromatic: This means that the radiation consists of only one wavelength.

High coherence and thereby phase coincidence.

The waves of the laser are approximately parallel due to the coherence. Due to these properties, the laser light is used in many areas of modern material processing.

The intensity is preserved for a long time due to the coherence and can be bundled even further through lenses.

The laser beam impinges on the material surface, is absorbed and thus heats the material. Due to this generation of heat, the material can be removed or completely evaporated. It is thus possible to engrave, to mark or to cut a plurality of materials.

Increased Use of Objective Lenses in Imaging and Photography to Propel Objective Lens Market in Africa

Published: 10 August 2016

Albany, New York, August 10, 2016: Market Research Hub (MRH) has added a new market intelligence report to its comprehensive collection of research studies. The 165-page research study, titled “Objective Lens Markets in Africa to 2020 - Market Size, Development, and Forecasts,” offers a detailed analysis, presenting insights into the key trends and dynamics that are influencing the growth of the market. In addition, the product segmentation, growth drivers, and challenges of the market have been discussed in the research report.

Objective lenses are the primary lenses used across the globe to observe minute specimens and magnify objects that are invisible to the naked eye. These lenses are used widely in cameras, microscopes, telescopes, and other optical instruments. With technological developments, the objective lens market is projected to grow at a fast pace throughout the forecast period. The growing application base in diverse industries is further projected to augment the growth of the Africa objective lens market in the near future.
