Naturally occuring process in a LASER is

• Stimulated Emission

• Absorption

• Spontaneous Emission

• Population Inversion

The process in which the electrons in the ground state are vibrated to the excited states by providing extra energy from energy sources is called as

• Population Inversion

• Spontaneous emission

• Stimulated emission

• Pumping

The coherent nature of light from LASER is due to

• Spontaneous emission

• Stimulated Emission

• Absorption

• Pumping

Light amplification in LASER is achieved by

• Population inversion
