Abstract

A system for collimated light generation including a substrate disposed in open space, an energy source providing energy to the substrate, thereby causing formation of a plasma on the substrate in the open space, and an optical pump providing optical pumping to the plasma, such that stimulated emission of collimated light by the plasma occurs.
