The color of a rose, the output of a laser, and the transparency of air are but a few examples. While it may not appear that glow-in-the-dark pajamas and lasers have much in common, they are in fact different applications of similar atomic de-excitations.

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.
