For instance, when the team set the groove spacing equal to the lasing wavelength in the device, some of the oscillating light diffracted upward, causing the laser to shine not only from the tiny front edge of its active stripe but also from the stripe’s top.—Susumu Noda, IEEE Spectrum, 14 Apr. 2024 The idea of using one laser to create another dates back to the 1960s, when people began using dyes as lasing materials, exciting them with other kinds of lasers.—Richard B. Miles, IEEE Spectrum, 31 Jan. 2012 Canales' development of Mayfield may have left a lasing impression on Tepper.—Steve Reed, USA TODAY, 25 Jan. 2024 For example, the lasing output is highly sensitive to any change in the size or shape of the bubble.—The Physics Arxiv Blog, Discover Magazine, 30 June 2023 The result is that the burnt and recovered material form their own wave that has a wavelength and frequency that corresponds to the difference between the two (or more) colors that lase.—Chris Lee, Ars Technica, 9 May 2018
