Sound amplification by stimulated emission of radiation of the laser. In a SASER device, a source (e.g., an electric field as a pump) produces sound waves (lattice vibrations, phonons) that travel through an active medium. In this active medium, a stimulated emission of phonons leads to amplification of the sound waves, resulting in a sound beam coming out of the device. The sound wave beams emitted from such devices are highly coherent. The first successful SASERs were developed in 2009. Instead of a feedback-built wave of electromagnetic radiation (i.e., a laser beam), a SASER delivers a sound wave. SASER may also be referred to as "phonon laser",
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
