Light-Matter Interactions in Lasers

Light is generated from a laser as a result of the following process: electrons in a material move from an excited energy level to a lower-lying energy level and produce photons that contribute to the laser beam. Therefore, fundamental interactions between light and matter are the basis for the analysis of laser operation and the properties of laser light . This section provides an abridged description of the interactions between atoms/molecules in a laser material and the photons that make up the resulting laser light.
