Also known as light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, lasers

dispositivo in grado di emettere un fascio di luce

AI overview

A laser is a device that produces an intense, focused beam of light by stimulating atoms or molecules to emit radiation in a coherent way. Lasers matter because they have practical applications across many fields—in this case, they're being used as guide stars to help telescopes see more clearly through the atmosphere.

Il laser (acronimo dell'inglese «light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation», in italiano "amplificazione della luce mediante emissione stimolata della radiazione") è un dispositivo optoelettronico in grado di emettere un fascio di luce coerente. Il termine si riferisce oltre che al dispositivo anche al fenomeno fisico dell'amplificazione per emissione stimolata di un'onda elettromagnetica.
