Reflected light is interpreted as a “1” and unreflected light is interpreted as a “0.” The resulting digital signal is converted into an analog signal, and the analog signal is fed into an amplifier that powers a device such as a pair of headphones.

Laser light is produced by population inversion and subsequent de-excitation of electrons in a material (solid, liquid, or gas). When a photon of energy triggers an electron in a metastable state to drop in energy emitting an additional photon, it provokes stimulated emission.
