Abstract
ABSTRACT
Studying the physical theories that underlie the fundamental phenomena of laser technology has become crucial to improving its applications in business and medical due to its rapid advancements and broad significance. The goal of this theoretical study is to investigate the basic ideas of laser physics, with an emphasis on the theories that describe laser emission and how it interacts with industrial and biological materials, in order to use them to enhance a variety of applications. The approach reviews the mechanisms of laser-material interaction using an integrated theoretical framework and is based on a theoretical analysis of mathematical models, physical principles, and the characteristics of various laser types. Important findings from the study provide a better knowledge of how physical theories might be used to explain and enhance laser efficiency in industrial and medical settings. In order to guarantee more precise and secure performance, explanatory models that describe how to choose laser kinds and their characteristics optimally were found. By building on a greater understanding of physical theories, theoretical concepts play a crucial role in guiding practical applications, increasing the potential of laser technology and advancing it across multiple industries.
