 Encyclopedia: Laser (disambiguation)
Disambiguation The range of sizes in which lasers exist is immense, extending from microscopic diode lasers (top) to football field sized neodymium glass lasers (bottom) used for inertial confinement fusion.
A Laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) is a device which uses a quantum mechanical effect, stimulated emission, to generate a very collimated, monochromatic and coherent beam of light.
A LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is an optical device which uses a quantum mechanical effect called stimulated emission (discovered by Einstein while researching the photoelectric effect) in order to generate a coherent beam of light from a lasing medium of controlled purity, size, and shape.

 Laser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A laser is composed of an active laser medium and a resonant optical cavity.
For a laser to operate, the gain medium must be "pumped" by an external energy source, such as electricity or light (from a classical source such as a flash lamp, or another laser).
In 1916, Albert Einstein laid the foundation for the invention of the laser and its predecessor, the maser, in a ground-breaking rederivation of Max Planck's law of radiation based on the concepts of spontaneous and induced emission.

 Encyclopedia: Confocal laser scanning microscopy
In a laser scanning confocal microscope a laser beam passes a light source aperture and then is focused by an objective lens into a small (ideally diffraction-limited) focal volume within a fluorescent specimen.
Laser scanning confocal microscopy represents one of the most significant advances in optical microscopy ever developed, primarily because the technique enables visualization deep within both living and fixed cells and tissues and affords the ability to collect sharply defined optical sections from which three-dimensional renderings can be created.
In contrast, the excitation region of a laser scanning confocal microscope is similar to that of a widefield microscope.

By contrast, a laser generally emits photons in a narrow, well-defined, polarised, coherent beam of near-monochromatic light, consisting of a single wavelength or hue.
The basic physics of lasers centres around the idea of producing a population inversion in a laser medium by "pumping" the medium; i.e., by supplying energy in the form of light or electricity, for example.
For instance, a laser beam's coherence potentially allows it to be focused down to its diffraction limit, which at visible wavelengths corresponds to only a few hundred nanometers.

Furthermore, science-fiction film special effects often depict weapon laser beams propagating at only a few feet per second—i.e., slowly enough to see their progress, in a manner reminiscent of conventional tracer ammunition—whereas in reality a laser beam travels at the speed of light, and would be instantly visible along its entire length.

Some types of laser, such as dye lasers and vibronic solid-state lasers can produce light over a broad range of wavelengths; this property makes them suitable for the generation of extremely short pulses of light, on the order of a femtosecond (10-15 seconds).

Later, in 1994, it was discovered by Mourou and his team at University of Michiganthat the balance between the self-focusing refraction (see Kerr effect) and self-attenuating diffraction by ionization and rarefaction of a laser beam of terawatt intensities in the atmosphere creates "filaments" which act as waveguides for the beam thus preventing divergence.

The first working laser was made by Theodore H. Maiman in 1960 at Hughes Research Laboratories in Malibu, California, beating several research teams including those of Charles Townes at Columbia University, and Arthur L. Schawlow at Bell laboratories.
As laser stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, it should be understood that the word light is here meant in the expansive sense, as photons of any energy; not as simply photons in the visible spectrum.
In addition, it should be noted that in the modern sense, a laser can be thought of as a maser (see the article on maser for details).
