  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-000896",
  "term": "Atomic laser",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A gas laser whose lasing medium is a vapour of free atoms, excited by energy handed over from other atomic or molecular species. The helium-neon laser and the copper vapour laser are examples. It emits coherent light, unlike an atom laser, which produces a coherent beam of matter.",
