Q.

Which process gives the laser its special properties as an optical source?

A. dispersion
B. stimulated absorption
C. spontaneous emission
D. stimulated emission
Answer» D. stimulated emission
Explanation: in stimulated emission, the photon produced is of the same energy to the one which cause it. hence, the light associated with stimulated photon is in phase and has same polarization. therefore, in contrast to spontaneous emission, coherent radiation is obtained. the coherent radiation phenomenon in laser provides amplification thereby making laser a better optical source than led.
