2. What does LASER stand for? LASER is short for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation Lasers are constantly around us DVDs, laser shows, medical (laser surgery), laser sight, and tv’s

3.  Laser light is DIRECTIONAL  Is strong and concentrated  Flashlights are much weaker.  the light is COHERENT  Each wavelength is in unison with the others...think of the British (laser light) vs. Minutemen (flashlight)  The laser lights are all organzied and together.  The flashlights are running all over the place...unorganzied

4. ORGANIZEDRANDOM

5. Origins of lasers Theodore Maiman showed the world the first working laser in 1960. The idea, however, was introduced by the one and only Albert Einstein. The first laser was a ruby laser. Diagram above.

6. How do lasers work? A laser is activated by a few photons. These active photons cause more and more photons to get “excited” and thus creating a laser beam. Laser beams are usually the same color as opposed to light.

7.  When you watch an average tv today, you can only see 30-35% of the ACTUAL color content  New developments in laser technology will allow you to see 90% of color content!  Cheaper as well.
