Atomic Beam Laser

An atomic beam laser is a device that produces coherent light by passing a focused stream of atoms—called an atomic beam—through a specialized environment. When these atoms are excited to higher energy levels, they release their energy as light in a synchronized way, creating a laser beam. Unlike traditional lasers that use gases or solids, atomic beam lasers use individual atoms moving in a controlled manner, enabling highly precise and stable laser emission. This technology is valuable for scientific measurements, atomic physics, and applications requiring extremely accurate and stable light sources.
