Abstract

Laser is abbreviation for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation, i.e., light intensified by the stimulated emission of the radiation. It can be defined as electromagnetic radiation which manifest itself as monochromatic light, therefore waves in the same length and the same ondulatory phases which, for that reason, add up energy.
