LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) produces light with specific characteristics: High Intensity (concentrated power), High Coherence (photons are in phase), and High Monochromaticity (very narrow range of wavelengths/color). Optical activity is a property of certain materials that can rotate the plane of polarization of light passing through them, not a fundamental property of the light source itself.
Which of the following properties is not related to LASER ?
