purpose-made large laser
1Laser printer — HP LaserJet 4200 series printer, installed atop high capacity paper feeder …
2Laser-guided bomb — A laser guided bomb (LGB) is a precision guided munition (PGM) that uses semi active laser homing to strike a designated target with greater accuracy than a free fall bomb. LGBs are one of the most common and widespread PGMs, used by a large… …
3laser — /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; …
4Large Plasma Device — The Large Plasma Device is an experimental physics device at UCLA. It is designed as a general purpose laboratory for experimental plasma physics research. The current version of the device began operation in 2001. The modern LaPD is operated as… …
5History of general purpose CPUs — The history of general purpose CPUs is a continuation of the earlier history of computing hardware. 1950s: early designs Each of the computer designs of the early 1950s was a unique design; there were no upward compatible machines or computer… …
6Fabrication of structural steel by plasma and laser cutting — Fabrication of dimensional (non flat) structural steel elements has historically been performed by sequential operations involving sawing, drilling and high temperature flame cutting to remove material. Each of these operations is performed on… …
7Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization — MALDI TOF mass spectrometer Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is a soft ionization technique used in mass spectrometry, allowing the analysis of biomolecules (biopolymers such as DNA, proteins, peptides and sugars) and large… …
8Dye laser — Close up of a table top dye laser based on Rhodamine 6G, emitting at 580 nm (yellow orange). The emitted laser beam is visible as faint yellow lines. The orange dye solution enters the laser from the left, and is pumped by a 514 nm (blue green)… …
9Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation — APOLLO shooting a laser at the Moon. The laser pulse is reflected from the retroreflectors on the Moon (see below) and returned to the telescope. The round trip time tells the distance to the Moon to great accuracy. In this picture the Moon is… …
10Novette laser — The Novette target chamber (metal sphere with diagnostic devices sticking out), which was reused from the Shiva project and two newly built laser chains visible in background. Novette was a two beam neodymium glass (phosphate glass) testbed laser …
