Abstract

The fundamental physical processes taking place in lasers are discussed. The methods of achieving the necessary conditions to produce laser light, and the characteristics which distinguish it from light emitted by ordinary sources, are reviewed. The applications of laser light and the way they relate to the characteristic properties are examined in a general way.
