An effective laser also needs to have an optical resonant cavity in which the photon emission is amplified. This resonant cavity is a Fabry-Perot etalon... The etalon, consists of two parallel, semi-reflecting mirrors. The etalon is a Fabry-Perot interferometer whose mirrors are separated by a fixed distance. Electromagnetic radiation passes through the first half-silvered mirror(left-hand side). The radiation can then either be transmitted through or reflected by the second mirror. If the radiation is reflected, more electron-hole pairs are stimulated to emit radiation. Constructive interference occurs between the reflected wave and the more recently emitted wave, and the radiation is amplified. 10, record 1, English, - resonant%20cavity

La possibilité du phénomène laser et d'émission éventuelle d'un rayon laser sont liées aux conditions suivantes : Existence d'un milieu (dans le cas du gyromètre laser, c'est un gaz) possédant au moins trois niveaux d'énergie [...]. Existence d'un procédé, dit de pompage, impliquant un apport d'énergie faisant passer un grand nombre d'électrons du niveau E0) au niveau E [indice 2. Dans le cas des gyromètres laser, le pompage est obtenu par voie électrique [...]. Existence d'un phénomène de résonance correspondant à des ondes lumineuses [...] Dans le cas des gyromètres laser, une cavité résonnante est formée par un ensemble de miroirs de haute qualité. 7, record 1, French, - cavit%C3%A9%20r%C3%A9sonnante
