Solid State Laser

Solid-state lasers are a type of laser that use solid materials as the gain medium to produce stimulated coherent radiation. They are classified under the supply class "Stimulated Coherent Radiation Devices, Components, And Accessories" in the supply group "Communication, Detection, And Coherent Radiation Equipment."

Solid-state lasers typically consist of a solid material, such as a crystal or glass, that is doped with ions. These ions are excited by an external energy source, such as a flash lamp or diode laser, causing them to emit photons. These emitted photons then undergo amplification through stimulated emission, resulting in a coherent beam of laser light.

Solid-state lasers have several advantages over other types of lasers. They are compact, reliable, and can operate at high power levels. They also have a wide range of applications, including laser cutting, welding, marking, engraving, medical procedures, scientific research, and telecommunications.

In addition to the solid-state laser itself, the supply class may also include various components and accessories related to solid-state laser systems. This can include power supplies, cooling systems, optics, beam delivery systems, control electronics, and safety equipment.

Overall, solid-state lasers are an important technology in the field of communication, detection, and coherent radiation equipment, offering precise and efficient laser sources for a variety of applications.
