StarStarStarStar

Solid-State Laser

StarStarStarStar

Employs a solid gain medium, such as a crystal containing rare-earth ions. Frequently used in laser cutting and material processing.

StarStarStarStar

Free Electron Laser (FEL)

StarStarStarStar

Generates coherent, high-frequency electromagnetic radiation via a relativistic electron beam, particularly valuable in research.

StarStarStarStar

Fiber Laser

StarStarStarStar

Utilizes doped fiber as the gain medium. It's efficient for high precision tasks like welding, cutting, and marking.

StarStarStarStar

Gas Laser

StarStarStarStar

Uses an electric current to excite a gas medium, producing coherent light. Commonly used in laser light shows and barcode scanners.

StarStarStarStar

Quantum Cascade Laser

StarStarStarStar

Electrons traverse through a series of quantum wells to produce photons at mid-infrared to terahertz frequencies, used in gas sensing and spectroscopy.

StarStarStarStar

Excimer Laser

StarStarStarStar

Uses reactive gases combined with inert gases to generate a laser beam. Most often used in photolithography and eye surgeries.

StarStarStarStar

Semiconductor Laser

StarStarStarStar

Relies on semiconductor diodes as the gain medium. These are compact and commonly found in consumer electronics.

StarStarStarStar

Chemical Laser

StarStarStarStar

Powered by a chemical reaction, these lasers can produce high-power beams, mainly utilized in military applications.

StarStarStarStar

Dye Laser

StarStarStarStar

Employs an organic dye as the lasing medium, usually pumped by another laser, and allows for a wide range of output colors.

StarStarStarStar

Nd:YAG Laser

StarStarStarStar

This type of solid-state laser uses a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet crystal as its gain medium. It's versatile and used in medical treatments, laser engraving, and cutting.
