Lasers and Optics

Lasers are devices that produce highly focused, coherent beams of light through a process called stimulated emission, amplifying specific wavelengths. Laser light has unique properties: it is intense, monochromatic (single color), and collimated (traveling straight). Optical technologies involve manipulating and controlling light for various applications, such as communication, medicine, and manufacturing. They include lenses, mirrors, and fibers that direct, focus, and transmit light efficiently. Together, lasers and optics enable precise, innovative solutions across many fields by harnessing the behavior of light in controlled ways.
