The discharge current at which the gain of the laser just equals the losses. 3, record 1, English, - lasing%20threshold
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 DEF
The lowest excitation level at which a laser's output is dominated by stimulated emission rather than spontaneous emission. 4, record 1, English, - lasing%20threshold
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Light radiates from the laser in a narrow-angled cone. As the current increases, the optical amplifier gain increases. When the amplifier gain equals the mirror loss, the lasing threshold is reached; the laser begins to oscillate above threshold current. 5, record 1, English, - lasing%20threshold
