Solid-State Lasers

Solid-state lasers are devices that generate laser light using a solid material, typically a crystal or glass, doped with certain elements called "dopants." When energy is supplied, these dopants absorb it and release it as concentrated light through a process called stimulated emission. This light is then amplified and can be emitted in a focused beam. Solid-state lasers are known for their efficiency, durability, and ability to produce high-quality beams of light, making them widely used in various applications, including manufacturing, medicine, and telecommunications.
