Introduction:-
The term “laser” is an stands for Light Amplification by
used.
The electrons are charged particles, they carry some energy. The
Generally the electrons are present in the outer most orbit of the
Ground state, the state with lowest energy is the most stable state for
the electrons. After absorbing the energy electron jump to the higher
energy state and staying there for some seconds jump to the ground
state and release the absorbed energy.
This jump may be in two stages:-
Electron from higher state may not come directly to the ground state but
may halt for some micro seconds on some intermediate state before finally
coming to the ground state.
The period for which electron stays in a higher energy state is known as the
Lasing action:-
The emission of photon is not done by only one atom at upper energy level
but on the influence of external light, a sort of chain reactions occurs and
one after other atoms start emitting photons. Thus whole avalanche dumps
down together. This is called lasing action.
Not all the materials are suitable for producing laser beam.
One of the most common laser materials and also one capable of
2) When the light is flash over the crystal, most of the atoms are raised to
the excited state. Some light waves incline to the axis of the crystal will
leave the box either after only a few reflections or without strike on
mirror.
3) Some of the waves that travel parallel to the axis of the crystal, will
spontaneously emit photon from chromium ions. These photon stimulate
another atom to contribute a second photon.
This process continues as the photons are reflected to and fro between the
mirror.
4) At the each reflection a certain loss occurs

It is very interesting that laser has to be used on materials where it absorbs
laser energy.
Upon absorption of the laser energy, there is rapid rise in the temperature
Although several types of laser exist, all lasers produce (emit) intense,

Excellent control of the laser beam with a stable motion system achieves
Laser cutting has higher accuracy rates over other methods using heat
The material being cut gets very hot, so in narrow areas, thermal
gas, because it puts stress into the cut edge of some materials; this is
typically a problem in dense patterns of holes.
Lasers also require high energy, making them costly to run.
Lasers are not very effective on metals such as aluminum and copper
alloys due to their ability to reflect light as well as absorb and conduct
heat. Neither are lasers appropriate to use on crystal, glass and other
transparent materials.
