A laser emits a beam of energy in the form of light. But to get energy out of a laser, we have to put some in. Depending on the type of laser, there are different ways to do this. What is important here is that the energy put into the lasing medium, the energy that is pumped into that medium to stimulate it, to excite it (the actual term), to induce it to lase, is supplied by an outside source, by a pump appropriate to that type of laser. So the pump, that thing outside the medium that stimulates it to induce it into lasing, is pumping when it is exciting the medium. Hope this was, um, coherent....
The two main types of pumping in lasers are optical pumping, where light is used to excite the laser medium, and electrical pumping, where an electrical current is used to excite the medium. Optical pumping is more common in solid-state and gas lasers, while electrical pumping is typically used in semiconductor lasers.
Yes, there are lasers specifically designed to cut through metal. Fiber lasers and CO2 lasers are commonly used in metal cutting applications due to their high power and precision. These lasers are capable of cutting through various types of metals with different thicknesses.
Cold lasers are safer and deal less pain than hot lasers. Cold lasers are usually used for repairing skin damage and treating pain and inflammation. Hot lasers are simply used for burning things.
Lasers of different wavelengths can be purchased from many sites online, such as Lexel Laser, and Wicked Lasers. Be sure to check the legality of the lasers in your country or risk losing them at customs.
All lasers can be dangerous, but with a yellow laser the light doesn't remain on like most other lasers. With all lasers there is a high and low end of the spectrum.
Tunable lasers have the ability to change their output wavelength, whereas regular lasers have a fixed wavelength. Tunable lasers are versatile in research and industrial applications where specific wavelengths are needed. This tunability allows for greater flexibility in adjusting the laser output for different purposes.
Ans. Optical pumping methods are very ineffective for gas lasers because gas atomsshow sharp energy, levels as compared to solids, which are characterized by energy bands raTher than energy levels. Thus for gas laser the electrical discharge is used for pumping.

gas lasers do not usually lend themselves to lamp pumping because the absorption lines are typically much narrower than the usual broadband emission of the lamp. Electrical pumping of gas lasers ,on the other hand can be a fairly efficient process because the linewidth of excitation cross section of a given transition by electron impact is usually quite large

Since the early 1970s Erchonia lasers have been classified by wavelength and maximum output powers into four classes. The lasers are used in treatment of neck and shoulder pain, breast augmentation, acne, laser assisted body augmentation. The types of lasers they use for these treatments include 3LT Lasers, Custom Design Lasers and Zerona Lasers.

Lasers can be used to treat wrinkles by a laser resurfacing procedure. It can be done with two types of lasers: one that removes thin layers of skin and the other type that stimulates collagen growth.
The cardiac muscle of the heart has primary responsibility for pumping blood throughout the body.
No; only some types of crystals, gases, etc. can be used in lasers.
Tunable lasers can be tuned in various manners. Some of these include single line and multi line tuning. Narrow band tuning is also used to tune various lasers as well.
