What's a Lie-dar ? A lie about a Laser Infra o meter ?. Sounds like something on the Dark Net ?. If you don't know or are not sure what it is ?, Then its perfect for a Wikipedia loser. Light Oscillation by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LOSER). Not to be confused with User... Like editor vs Un-Editor, Blocker Delete-or. Not to be confused with Contributor. Probably or most like lee... With all the fake new and academic fraud going around, Who knows ?. Not many... I don't know, too much It int for me, But me try. (Interferometry).

The word: Loser THIS is a story about the laser – and no, we haven’t misspelled it in the title. Lasers produce intense beams of light of a single wavelength by exciting atoms, ions or molecules in a substance and then using photons to stimulate them to release their extra energy as other, identical photons. The word laser stands for “light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation”, and was coined in 1957 by Gordon Gould, then a doctoral student at Columbia University in New York. Strictly speaking, however, Gould got the name wrong.

How so? In 1959, a year before anyone had built a laser, physicist Arthur Schawlow pointed out that since the amplification is achieved by bouncing the photons back and forth within a resonant cavity, the process would be better described as “light oscillation”. Thus the correct acronym is “loser”. It’s a moot point, and Schawlow was a playful soul, but his joke carried a barb: this was the beginning of a 30-year war over who invented the laser (that's typical).
