How does Laser Beam Machining work ?

Laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) beam machining (LBM) utilises the energy from the coherent light beams called laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation). The basic principle utilised in LBM is that under proper conditions light energy of a particular frequency is used to stimulate the electrons in an atom to emit additional light with exactly the same characteristics of the original light source.
