Laser Physics

Laser physics studies the generation and behavior of laser light, which is a concentrated beam of coherent light. In plasma physics, lasers can interact with ionized gases to create or manipulate plasmas. In optics, lasers help explain phenomena like reflection and refraction. Ionization refers to the process of removing electrons from atoms, often stimulated by laser energy, causing excitation of electrons to higher energy states. Quantum optics explores the particle-like behavior of light and how it interacts with matter at the quantum level. Overall, laser physics integrates these fields to advance technology in communications, medicine, and scientific research.
