Abstract :
The laser is a unique source of electromagnetic radiation. Its monochromatic wavelength lies in the electromagnetic spectrum between the ultraviolet and the infrared. It is a coherent light source whose rays can be focused to extremely small spots, thus delivering brightness high enough to drill holes in diamonds.
