Types of lasers. Different mediums,
0:02
different uses. Definition: Lasers are
0:05
classified based on the type of gain
0:07
medium used to amplify light, which
0:10
determines their properties and
0:11
applications. Explanation: The gain
0:14
medium of a laser, gas, crystal,
0:16
semiconductor, dye, or fiber affects its
0:19
wavelength, power, and purpose.
0:22
Different lasers are tailored for unique
0:25
uses from delicate surgeries to
0:27
industrial cutting and communication
0:29
systems. Key types of lasers. One gas
0:33
lasers use gases like CO or he any as
0:37
the medium. Example CO lasers for
0:39
industrial cutting. He any lasers for
0:42
scientific research. Two solid state
0:45
lasers use solid crystals for example
0:48
ruby nd y a example ruby laser for
0:52
medical treatments and d y for
0:55
industrial welding three semiconductor
0:58
lasers use diodes as the medium example

players four die lasers use organic dyes
1:10
dissolved in liquid as the medium
1:13
example Tunable lasers for research and
1:16
spectroscopy. Five fiber lasers use
1:19
optical fibers doped with rare earth
1:21
elements. Example high power
