    The document compares LEDs and lasers. LEDs are semiconductor light sources that produce non-coherent light in various colors depending on their wavelength. They are used for lighting and indicators. Lasers produce coherent light of a single frequency and wavelength, forming an extremely focused beam. They are used for applications like medical procedures, CDs, printing, and nuclear fusion. The main differences are that LEDs produce non-coherent light while lasers produce coherent light where all photons are in phase.
