.... to form a wave that has an amplitude equal to the sum of the individual amplitudes of the original waves. Stimulated emission is the process that the laser works on, which was first proposed by Albert Einstein in 1917. When a sufficient number of atoms, either gas solid or liquid, absorb energy so that they are in an excited state of higher energy stimulated emission can occur. Light of a specific wavelength can produce more light with the same phase and direction these light waves will be coherent. Stimulated emission amplifies ....
