Laser - Wikipedia A telescope in the Very Large Telescope system producing four orange laser guide stars A laser is a device that emits light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation The word laser originated as an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation [1][2] The first laser was built in 1960 by Theodore Maiman at
Laser | Definition, Acronym, Principle, Applications, Types | Britannica Laser, a device that stimulates atoms or molecules to emit light at particular wavelengths and amplifies that light, typically producing a very narrow beam of radiation The emission generally covers an extremely limited range of visible, infrared, or ultraviolet wavelengths
