The first step to getting output from a laser is to excite an active medium. What is this process called? Correct Answer Pumping

A collection of atoms or molecules that can be excited to a higher energy state is called an active medium. Before lasing can occur, the active media is "pumped". The process of raising the atoms in the active media from a lower energy state to a higher state is like pumping water up from a well.

Refer to the figure given below. AB, CD and EF are three parallel paths. A person starts from AB to reach EF by moving in four steps - moving from AB to O1 in step 1, from O1 to CD in step 2, from CD to O2 in step 3 and from O2 to EF in step 4. If he takes a curved path in one step, he cannot take a curved path in the next step. In how many ways the person can reach EF from AB?
