Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

Did you know Einstein predicted Stimulated Emission?

It wasn't an experiment, more like an aside in a paper about something else. He just figured that if a photon could cause an absorption, then it stood to reason that a photon could cause an emission. Then he just worked out the math. Again, not as a discrete discovery or prediction, just as a method to make a point about something else.

which is an outdated term because nothing gets amplified anyone, it's rather an Oscillator, but for whatever reason the appropriate abbreviation never stuck ;)

I hope those aren't on 24/7. You're going to be unwelcome at sporting events and theaters. You'll get your ass kicked at an airshow.

I mean be like cyclops from x-men and just get a visor to block the wavelength as desired.

Her bestie looks somewhat concerned. Probably thinking about whether the Lazer Woman may try the lazers on her. Whoops. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I was so disappointed the first time we went to a laser carwash
