The active laser medium (also called gain medium or lasing medium) is the source of optical gain within a laser. The gain results from the stimulated emission of electronic or molecular transitions to a lower energy state from a higher energy statepreviously populated by a pump source.Examples of active laser media include:Certain crystals, typically doped with rare-earth ions (e.g.
