Particle Nature of Light
Phenomena that reveals the particle nature of light: Photoelectric Effect Compton Scattering Blackbody Radiation Emission atomic lines
When the atoms radiate discrete values of energy, those small bundles of energy are considered to be particles and are referred as photons.

Definition of laserA laser is a device that generates light by a process called STIMULATED EMISSION.
The acronym LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
Semiconducting lasers are multilayer semiconductor that generates a coherent beam of monochromatic light by laser action

Mechanisms of Light Emission
For atomic systems in thermal equilibrium with their surrounding,
the emission of light is the result of Absorption and
subsequently Spontaneous emission of energy
Stimulated emission There is another process whereby the atom in an upper energy level can triggered or stimulated in phase with the an incoming photon. The process is Stimulated emission
It is an important process for laser action

Stimulated Emission
•
It is pointed out by Einstein that: “Atoms in an excited state can be stimulated to jump to alower energy level when they are struck by a photon of incident lightwhose energy is the same as the energy-level difference involved inthe jump. The electron thus emits a photon of the same wavelength asthe incident photon. The incident and emitted photons travel awayfrom the atom in phase.” This process is called stimulated emission.

Population inversion
The atoms must be excited to the higher state. That is, an inverted population is needed, one in which more atoms are in the upper state than in the lower one, so that emission of photons will dominate over absorption.
![Page 21: Laser matter interaction](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062502/58ab0f5b1a28ab70038b5801/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Metastable state
a state in which the electrons remain longer than usual so that the transition to the lower state occurs by stimulated emission rather than spontaneously.

Light Absorption
Dominant interaction – Photon absorbed – Electron is excited to CB – Hole left in the VB• Depends on the energy band gap (similar to lasers)• Absorption (a) requires the photon energy to be larger than the material band gap

Interband vs Intraband
Interband:Transision between the conduction and valence bands. The devices are bipolar involving a p-n junction.
Intraband:quantum cascade lasers, are based on the transitions between the sub-bands in the conduction or valence bands.The Intraband devices are unipolar.

CW, ns, ps/fs lasers
The CW laser (far left) removes material primarily by melting, which creates a large HAZ.
The (ns) laser pulses (center) create a smaller HAZ and material is removed by melt expulsion driven by the vapor pressure and the recoil pressure.
With ultrafast pulses (ps/fs), the laser pulse duration is much shorter than the timescale for energy transfer between free electrons and the material lattice.
