1Laser — For other uses, see Laser (disambiguation). United States Air Force laser experiment …
2Laser diode — Top: a packaged laser diode shown with a penny for scale. Bottom: the laser diode chip is removed from the above package and placed on the eye of a needle for scale …
3Laser applications — There are many scientific, military, medical and commercial laser applications which have been developed since the invention of the laser in the 1958. The coherency, high monochromaticity, and ability to reach extremely high powers are all… …
4Laser propulsion — is a form of Beam powered propulsion where the energy source is a remote (usually ground based) laser system. This form of propulsion differs from a conventional chemical rocket where both energy and reaction mass come from the solid or liquid… …
5Laser peening — is the process of hardening or peening metal using a powerful laser. Laser peening can impart a layer of residual compressive stress on a surface that is four times deeper than that attainable from conventional shot peening treatments. [cite web… …
6Laser Doppler velocimetry — (LDV, also known as laser Doppler anemometry, or LDA) is a technique for measuring the direction and speed of fluids (or any other material that is processed like metal, paper etc) like air and water. In its simplest form, LDV crosses two beams… …
7Laser soldering — is a technique where a 30 50 W laser is used to melt and solder an electrical connection joint. Diode laser systems based on semiconductor junctions are used for this purpose. [cite web|title=Laser Solutions for… …
8laser — /lay zeuhr/, n. Physics. a device that produces a nearly parallel, nearly monochromatic, and coherent beam of light by exciting atoms to a higher energy level and causing them to radiate their energy in phase. Also called optical maser. [1955 60; …
9Laser microtome — The laser microtome is an instrument used for non contact sectioning of biological tissues or materials.In contrast to mechanically working microtomes, the laser microtome does not require sample preparation techniques such as freezing,… …
