The word LASER is formed of first letters of English description of the process - Light Amplifications by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Based on this process the light beam with unique properties is generated, which may produce different effects when it interacts with matter.
Laser is a device, which transforms different kinds of energy into the energy of electromagnetic radiation of the proper wavelength (frequency or color). Depending on "active media" (materials, atoms and molecules of which are used to emit quants of light or photons), different types of lasers are developed- solid state, gas, liquid, semiconductor, etc.
