Argon ion laser
An argon ion laser is a type of laser that produces a focused, intense beam of light, typically in the blue to green spectrum. It works by passing an electric current through argon gas, exciting the atoms to emit light. When these excited atoms return to their normal state, they release photons, which bounce between mirrors to amplify the light, creating a powerful, coherent laser beam. Argon ion lasers are used in scientific research, medical procedures, and manufacturing due to their precise, bright output.
