Best Answer

Plasma is a state of matter in which the atoms are ionized - either fully or at least in significant part. This state of energy may be obtained by applying energy from an external source. In your case, a laser may be used as a heating source.

Modern industrial lasers are quite comon, and are in wide engineering use for cutting metal. Steel plate inches thick may be simply cut in complex shapes by an industrial laser. This is usually controlled by a CNC machine (computer numeric control), and results in an impressively smooth cut.

Such an energy source may be used to create a plasma.

What is the Knudsen Layer in Plasma Plume?

In Plasmas produced by Laser Ablation, the Knudsen layer is a sheet in wich few as 3 collisions per particles occurs and the plasma can be described by a distribution function that evolves with a "full range" Maxwellian in a centre of mass coordinates system. It is formed near the target surface. [R.Kelly, Surf. Science, 263-276, 198, 1968].


How laser light is produced a laser gun?

By laser gun I'll assume you mean laser based directed energy weapons. The most common way is through harnessing the energy of chemical reactions such as in COIL lasers or DF lasers.

What are examples of liquid solid gas or plasma?

Liquid: water. Solid: a chair, a dish - in fact, most of the objects in your home. Gas: the air we breathe. Plasma: You won't normally find it close to you. The Sun and other stars are made up of plasma. It an also be produced in laboratories.
