31. The word " spaser " is an acronym for " surface plasmon amplification by stimulated emission of radiation ". 32. In doped fibre amplifiers and bulk lasers, stimulated emission in the amplifier's gain medium causes amplification of incoming light. 33. Einstein's explanation of spontaneous emission also predicted the existence of stimulated emission , the principle upon which the laser rests. 34. Suppose you have a quantum-entangled photon pass through an atom, stimulating emission of a second identical photon of that type. 35. The excited iodine then undergoes stimulated emission and lases at 1.315 �m in the optical resonator region of the laser. 36. Lasers _ short for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation _ are devices that produce beams of intense light. 37. A laser operates to amplify light using stimulated emission . talk ) 14 : 55, 5 July 2013 ( UTC) 38. Photonic devices include electro-optic components such as lasers ( Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation ) and optical fiber. 39. The complex can undergo spontaneous or stimulated emission , reducing its energy state to a metastable, but highly repulsive ground state. 40. Lasers use a quantum mechanical process called stimulated emission which was first predicted by Einstein in the early twentieth century.
