what does LASER stand for?..?

Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation
Light Amplification through Stimulated Emission of Radiation which does not do the effect any justice.The Laser effect is a marvel of science turning pure light into an effective tool for the betterment of mankind ;-)
laser stands for tunder
A laser (from the acronym Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is an optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. The back-formed verb to lase means "to produce laser light" or possibly "to apply laser light to".In analogy with optical lasers, a device which produces any particles or electromagnetic radiation in a coherent state is also called a "laser", usually with indication of type of particle as prefix (for example, atom laser.) In most cases, "laser" refers to a source of coherent photons, i.e. light or other electromagnetic radiation.Laser light is typically near-monochromatic, i.e., consisting of a single wavelength or color, and emitted in a narrow beam. This contrasts with common light sources, such as the incandescent light bulb, which emit incoherent photons in almost all directions, usually over a wide spectrum of wavelengths.Laser action is explained by the theories of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics. Many materials have been found to have the required characteristics to form the laser gain medium needed to power a laser, and these have led to the invention of many types of lasers with different characteristics suitable for different applications.The laser was proposed as a variation of the maser principle in the late 1950s, and the first laser was demonstrated in 1960. Since that time, laser manufacture has become a multi-billion dollar industry, and the laser has found applications in fields including science, industry, medicine, and consumer electronics.
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
The term LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
