What Is Special About Laser?
Lasers produce a narrow beam of light in which all of the light waves have very similar wavelengths. Because laser light stays focused and does not spread out much (like a flashlight would), laser beams can travel very long distances. They can also concentrate a lot of energy on a very small area.

Hereof, why is the laser important?

We need and use lasers because there are some tasks which require their brightness and their focused beam. Lasers are brighter and more focused than other light sources. One place where lasers are used is in surgery. The brightness (sometimes called the intensity) of the beam is needed to burn through tissue.

One may also ask, what is laser in simple words? A laser is a machine that makes an amplified, single-colour source of light. It uses special gases or crystals to make the light with only a single color. The gases are energized to make them emit light. The word "laser" is an acronym for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation".

Additionally, what can lasers do?

A laser is a device that emits light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. Spatial coherence allows a laser to be focused to a tight spot, enabling applications such as laser cutting and lithography.

What is a laser made of?

They're powerful beams of electromagnetic radiation. Laser beams can be made from visible light, x-rays, ultraviolet light or infrared light.

What was the purpose of the first laser?

When it was first discovered, the laser gave rise to some foolish hopes and was heralded as the answer to all the world's problems: it could be used to melt dangerous icebergs, replace the existing telephone network or carry millions of volts from one place to another.

Why is laser coherent?

They randomly absorb energy around them and give away the same in the form of photon). These photons possess constant phase relationship with each other in space(accounting for space coherence) and time(accounting for time coherence). Laser beam is achieved by stimulated emission and thus laser beam is coherent.
