Sound amplification by stimulated emission of radiation phenomenon, known as the Larsen effect, is the result of a positive feedback. In general, every oscillator consists of three main parts. These are the power source or pump, the amplifier and the positive feedback leading to the output. The corresponding parts in a SASER device are the excitation or pumping mechanism, the active (amplifying) medium, and the feedback leading to acoustic radiation. Pumping can be performed, for instance, with an alternating electric field or with some mechanical vibrations of resonators. The active medium should be a material in which sound amplification can be induced. An example of a feedback
Sound of a Woman fun this sound was -- and is." Julia Leconte of "NOW Magazine" noticed that "at first, [...] Kiesza's debut album seems overwrought [...] but eventually, subtleties and variety emerge" and felt that "Kiesza's so much better when she reels back her impressively ranging vocals to buttery." Chris Chiu of "The Silhouette" wrote that the album "offers the same intensity and sound that made her an instant hit and proved her overwhelming potential," but also that it "suffers from a bit of an identity crisis." Larry Fitzmaurice of Pitchfork Media noted that "Sound of a Woman" "fails to spark, as its
