1. Induced Absorption,
2. Spontaneous Emission
3. Stimulated Emission
Planck’s law
Prof. Reji Thomas DRC-DRD February 22, 2023
Ratios of stimulated emission rate to rate of spontaneous
emission and rate of induced absorption will give us an Idea

Laser pointers are compact devices that produce a low-power, visible LASER
light using semiconductor diode. LASER pointers are used for pointing out
features on visual display.
Prof. Reji Thomas DRC-DRD February 22, 2023
1962, the first semiconductor laser was created. Also known as
diode lasers, this technology made laser pointers more affordable
37
and accessible to the mass market.
