Paul you are clearly playing stupid or as they say the clown.

Even the acronym for LASER is Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

It's a pretty dam obvious connection its how the process and device gets its name.

Your article didn't mention the words Light Amplification, Stimulated Emission or Radiation either ... wow pretty strange hey given how the name comes about.

Lets give you a laser without any electrons at all .. the good old Ruby laser the first laser ever built
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_laser
The excitor there is light from a xenon flashtube ... no electrons or electricity in the laser at all.

So yeah lets just not talk because I am over the stupidity which would not even entertain a 12 year old.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
