Science

Within an oscillating resonant cavity containing Helium-Neon gas, which mechanism causes laser beam formation?

A)Stimulated emission enforces coherent photon propagation.
B)Spontaneous emission initiates population inversion.
C)Doppler broadening narrows linewidth oscillations.
D)Absorption creates specific spectral emissions.

💡 Explanation

Stimulated emission results in coherent photon propagation because an incoming photon causes excited atoms to emit identical photons in phase; therefore, gain is achieved in the cavity, rather than from absorption or spontaneous emission whose photons would scatter.
