Overview - Laser

1. Define Laser - coherent source of light
2. Characteristic properties of laser light - monochromatic, unidirectional, highly intense
and coherent
3. Full form of laser
4. What is coherence - its two types - temporal n spatial (define and give significance)
5. Define - population inversion, lifetime of an energy state, metastable state
6. Principle of laser - Stimulated emission - emission which requires external help -
happens before the lapse of lifetime of energy state
7. Spontaneous emission - happens by itself after the lapse of lifetime of energy state
8. Discuss Einstein theory of matter and radiations - relationship amongst various Einstein
coefficients - define Einstein Coefficients, give their physical significance and their units.
9. Give conditions of lasing action
10. Components of laser - (i) Laser medium (should be able to achieve population
inversion, can be solid, liquid, gas) (ii) Pump (device to supply energy to create population
inversion) - its types ( optical, electric discharge, electric, chemical) (iii) Optical Resonator
(composition - two plane parallel mirrors with common principal axis, one fully polished
and other is partially polished ; working - makes the photons oscillate between two
mirrors and number of photons grows, positive feedback device as well as help to select
one frequency /wavelength to be amplified based on 2l=n?.
11. 3-level laser : Ground state and Lower lasing level coincide with each other; normal
excited state and upper lasing level (metastable state) separately defined eg Ruby laser
12. 4-level laser : All the four levels, ground state, lower lasing level, upper lasing level and
normal excited state separately defined. Continuous Output. e.g. He-Ne, CO
2
