Glossary Of Laser Engraving and Cut Terms
[1] |
Excited State In laser engraving, the excited state refers to the temporary condition of atoms or molecules within the laser medium when they absorb energy and transition to higher energy levels. This excitation process occurs when the atoms or molecules are stimulated by an external energy source, such as electrical current or optical pumping, leading to the emission of coherent photons that constitute the laser beam used for engraving. The excited state is a key aspect of laser operation, as it determines the population inversion necessary for the amplification of light and the generation of laser radiation. |
