The critical components of a laser are a gain medium, a pump source, and a resonator. Table 1 lists the primary functions of these components as well as typical examples while illustrates these components in an operational laser. Gain Medium: Acts as medium for population inversion Determines laser emission properties, Pump Source: Serves as energy source for inverting population, Resonator: Provides feedback mechanism for amplification Selects spectral and spatial properties of light.
