Its Hyper-Sonic Sound Technology (HSS) uses ultrasonic waves beyond the range of human hearing to shape audible sound waves and limit the areas where they can be heard to very narrow pathways. More specifically, normal sound moves through the air in small pressure waves.

How do you focus regular light to make it a laser beam?

1. The waves have to have approximately the same wavelength (temporal coherence)
2. The waves have to be in phase (spectral coherence)
3. The waves have to be locally traveling in the same direction (spatial coherence)
4. The waves have to be the same polarization (polarization coherence)

Lasers work by emitting light that is “coherent” in that it doesn’t spread out in a disorganized way like light from most sources does. [Gigs] via [CodeParade] was able to build a device that produces a tightly focused sound wave, essentially building an audio laser. …

Yes. Sound can absolutely kill you if it’s loud enough. The long answer requires looking at what sound really is. Sound is created by a pressure wave which vibrates particles as it travels in an accordion-like manner.

Laser light is considered to be coherent because it consist of waves of exactly the same wavelength in phase.

A laser is an unusual light source. It is quite different from a light bulb or a flash light. Lasers produce a very narrow beam of light. This type of light is useful for lots of technologies and instruments—even some that you might use at home!

Types of lasers

• Solid-state laser.
• Gas laser.
• Liquid laser.
• Semiconductor laser.

Normal light is divergent and incoherent whereas laser light is highly directional and coherent. Normal light is a mixture of electromagnetic waves having different wavelengths. Laser light, on the hand, is monochromatic. This is the main difference between Normal light and laser light.

The light from a laser is said to be coherent, which means the wavelengths of the laser light are in phase in space and time. These three properties of laser light are what make it more of a hazard than ordinary light.

That being said, however, the laser light is not exactly monochromatic. Since the wavelength of the light is extremely small compared to the size of the laser cavities used, then within that tiny spectral bandwidth of the emission lines are many resonant modes of the laser cavity.

Laser light is composed of lights waves of a single wavelength, color and energy which travel in the same direction as a narrow and intense beam of light, therefore it is not recommended to directly look at a laser because its intensity can be damaging to the retina of the eye.

In a simple two-level system, it is not possible to obtain a population inversion with optical pumping because the system can absorb pump light (i.e., gain energy) only as long as population inversion, and thus light amplification, is not achieved.

In a 3-level laser, at least half the population of electrons must be excited to the higher energy state to achieve population inversion. Therefore, the laser medium must be very strongly pumped. This makes 3-level lasers inefficient to produce photons or light.

The pumping operation of a four level laser is similar to the pumping of a three level laser. The advantage of the four level laser is the low population of the lower laser energy level (E2). To create population inversion, there is no need to pump more than 50% of the atoms to the upper laser level.

With a four-level scheme, you have an extra level so that the laser transition does not end in a ground state. Thus, if the bottom level gets depopulated faster than the top level in the laser transition the population inversion will be guaranteed independent of how fast or efficiently you pump the system.

As shown in figure 4, a lasing medium must have at least one excited (metastable) state where electrons can be trapped long enough (microseconds to milliseconds) for a population inversion to occur. Although laser action is possible with only two energy levels, most lasers have four or more levels.

Most recent answer. Physics point of view, lasing is possible even without cavity, And engineering point of view it is highly beneficial to have a cavity at least for easy lasing, to avoid high pumping power, to avoid high temperature rise, etc.

When the number of rare earth ions in the higher energy excited states are greater than the number in ground or normal state, population inversion is achieved. Population inversion can be achieved by optical pumping in which the atoms in the ground state are excited to higher states by absorption of pump light.

Optical pumping: light is used to raise the atoms to higher energy states. Chemical pumping: chemical reactions are used to raise the atoms. Direct conversion: In this method the electrical energy directly creates the state of population inversion and laser is produced.

Answer: For laser action, there should be more number of atoms in higher energy state. Artificially creating more number of atoms in a higher energy states than the lower energy state is called population inversion. Therefore, population inversion is known as state of negative temperature.

MASER

The principle of laser amplification is stimulated emission. A laser can not operate if the gain is smaller than the resonator losses; the device is then below the so-called laser threshold and only emits some weak luminescence light.

Principle: Due to stimulated emission the photons multiply in each step-giving rise to an intense beam of photons that are coherent and moving in the same direction. Hence the light is amplified by Stimulated Emission of the Radiation. Termed LASER.

The word laser is an acronym and can be expanded as “light amplification by stimulating the emission of radiation.” The laser beams have a property similar to that of light waves emitted all at once. They are coherent, and usually of one wavelength (or color). Lasers are different from conventional light sources.

A laser is constructed from three principal parts:

• An energy source (usually referred to as the pump or pump source),
• A gain medium or laser medium, and.
• Two or more mirrors that form an optical resonator.

What are the two types of laser beams?

• Solid-state laser.
• Gas laser.
• Liquid laser.
• Semiconductor laser.
