2Laser trimming — describes the manufacturing process of using a LASER to adjust the operating parameters of an electronic circuit.The usual approach is to use a laser to burn away small portions of resistors, raising their value (resistance). The burning… …
3Laser 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… …
4laser — UK US /ˈleɪzər/ noun [C] ► a device that produces a powerful narrow beam of light that can be used as a tool, for example to cut metal, to perform medical operations, etc. The beam of light is also known as a laser: »It shines a laser beam on to… …

6Laser printer — HP LaserJet 4200 series printer, installed atop high capacity paper feeder …
7laser — /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; …
8Laser pointer — A laser pointer is a portable, pen sized laser designed to be held in the hand, and most commonly used to project a point of light to highlight items of interest during a presentation. Most laser pointers have low enough power that the projected… …
9Laser safety — A typical laser warning symbol. Laser safety is safe design, use and implementation of lasers to minimize the risk of laser accidents, especially those involving eye injuries. Since even relatively small amounts of laser light can lead to… …
10Laser rangefinder — A laser rangefinder is a device which uses a laser beam in order to determine the distance to a reflective object. The most common form of laser rangefinder operates on the time of flight principle by sending a laser pulse in a narrow beam… …
