In the context of physics, what does laser stand for?

  • Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

  • Low Amplified Signal Emission Receiver

  • Light Absorption by Synchronized Energy Reactor

  • Luminal Active Stimulus Emission Ratio

Answer

Laser stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. It's a device that emits a concentrated and coherent beam of light through the process of stimulated emission. Unlike regular light sources where photons are emitted randomly, lasers produce a highly synchronized and amplified stream of photons, resulting in a narrow, intense, and directional beam of light.
