LASERS
Laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation). Lasers are devices that amplify light and produce coherent light beams, ranging from infrared to ultraviolet. A light beam is coherent when its waves, or photons, propagate in step with one another. Laser light can be made extremely intense, highly directional, and very pure in color (frequency). Laser devices now have extend into the X-ray frequency range.
