ACROSS
4. _______ coherence – the maintaining of a constant phase difference between waves over time. 5. _______ coherence – the phase difference between points on a wave front remains constant. 7. _______ emission – process by which incident light of the proper frequency triggers emission of light (of the same frequency) by excited atoms. 8. _______ population – the state of having more ions in the upper state (energy level) than in the lower state. 10. _______ medium - a material containing atoms or molecules that can be stimulated to emit light. 11. A coherent, monochromatic (almost), intense light source resulting from stimulated emission. 12. Spatial _______ – the number of lines per unit length of the interference pattern; used to compute resolution requirements for film used in holography. 13. In a laser, the process of supplying energy to the active medium in order to get an inverted population. DOWN 1. _______ resonator – a structure made of mirrors, with the same optical axis, that reflect light back and forth. |
