== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Laser''' β An acronym for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation." * '''Photonics''' β The science and technology of "Generating," "Detecting," and "Manipulating" light (Photons). * '''Coherence''' β The property of laser light where all waves have the "Same Frequency" and "Phase" (they 'March together'). * '''Stimulated Emission''' β The "Spark" of a laser: when a photon hits an excited atom, it causes the atom to "Release a Twin Photon" that is identical in every way. * '''Population Inversion''' β The "Condition" needed for a laser: having "More atoms in an excited state" than a "Ground state" (The 'Fuel' of the beam). * '''Optical Cavity''' β The "Hall of Mirrors" in a laser that "Bounces" photons back and forth to "Amplify" them. * '''Monochromatic''' β Light of a "Single Color" (Wavelength). * '''Semiconductor Laser''' (Laser Diode) β The tiny lasers found in "Barcode Scanners" and "CD Players," made of the same material as "Computer Chips." * '''Fiber Optics''' β The use of "Glass Threads" to carry "Light pulses" over "Thousands of miles" with "Zero loss" of data. * '''Li-Fi''' β The future of "Wi-Fi" using "LED Light bulbs" to send "Internet data" at 100x the speed of current radio signals. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
