	Lasers (Science Tracer Bullet - Science Reference Services, Libraryof Congress)
		The term laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
		In the process, the optical cavity or resonator forces the excited atoms to radiate in phase, and concentrates the light to stimulate the emission of laser radiation.
		Laser light is emitted in a directional beam, and can be produced from the x-ray through to the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation parts of the spectrum.

	"The Light Fantastic" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Unlike the spot light cast on an image using the AddCone() method, the AddPoint() method casts what is known as an omni spot light, which is most like an illuminated blotch of light focused on a specified region.
		For cone lights, this method alters the light's focus, which are the x and y attributes.
		To create the blurry effect, the z-value of the lights were altered so that they appeared to be moving towards and away from the image, thus causing the lights radius to become larger as the z-value became larger and vice-versa.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Light Fantastic (Discworld Novel S.): Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Despite the various recurring characters most of the Discworld books effectively work as standalone novels - The Light Fantastic is the exception to the rule, as it follows on from the ending of The Colour of Magic as a direct sequel.
		Plot wise this is perhaps even slighter than The Colour of Magic, with the danger of the Discworld seemingly on a collision course with a star ultimately revealed as a bit of a red herring, but there's plenty of fun to be had along the way.
		While it lacks the initial inventiveness of The Colour of Magic, The Light Fantastic successfully concludes the story of Rincewind and Twoflower, and is recommended to anyone who enjoyed the previous tale.

	The light fantastic - Fuller, Rosenthal & Tipton: beginning with Loie Fuller in the nineteenth century, dance has ...
		The marriage of light and dance was certainly the meeting of two like minds.
		The invention of the arc lamp in 1846 brought electric light into the theater for special effects; Thomas Edison's 1879 incandescent light bulb opened up the field of experimentation, in lighting design for theater and dance.
		Without incandescent light, however, Fuller could not even have begun to meld fabric, movement, and light to replicate a lily blooming, a butterfly unfolding its wings, or the rise and fall of flames into the final flicker of a dying ember.

		Light was also used to communicate without the chance of the conversation being intercepted.

		With the technology, a person trapped in a building could hold up a cell phone to a ceiling light, and rescuers would be able to pinpoint his or her exact location.

		Two discoveries announced in the past week have sped the path to the fabrication of hybrid silicon chips with both electronic and photonic components.
		Having been studied in elaborate laboratory settings for years, light propagating in optically dense media -- media that slow light's propagation speed down considerably -- has been an area of increasing interest in photonics.
		It is the translation of a network signal from optical to electronic bits, he said, that is often the bottleneck.

	Tripping the light fantastic - 9/1/2000 - CED - CA6260318 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The wavelength, or color, of the light given off is precisely related to the amount of energy released.
		Depending on the particular lasing material being used, specific wavelengths of light are absorbed (to energize or excite the electrons) and certain wavelengths are emitted (when electrons fall back to their natural level).
		The first ruby laser stimulated excess energy with the use of a fully reflecting mirror and partially reflecting mirror, a compact, high-intensity lamp and a crystal of ruby formed into a cylinder (the lasing material).
