Hello Aspirant,
Within a laser, the material that emits coherent radiation or exhibits gain as the result of electronic or molecular transitions to a lower energy state or states, from a higher energy state or states to which it had been previously stimulated.
Examples of active laser media include certain crystals, gases, glasses, liquids, and semiconductors.
Hope this information is helpful. Feel free to ask more questions.
Have a good day!!
