How Lasers Depend on Quantum Physics

How can one photon help create another photon that joins the same beam? The answer begins with a puzzle: laser light can be unusually ordered without every laser being equally bright, perfectly parallel or a single exact colour. This section asks what makes laser light different from light from an ordinary lamp. The key is that a laser generates and organises light through stimulated emission of radiation.
