2. Laser pointer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_pointer

   A laser pointer or laser pen is a (typically battery-powered) handheld device that uses a laser diode to emit a narrow low-power visible laser beam (i.e. coherent light) to highlight something of interest with a small bright colored spot. The small width of the beam and the low power of typical laser pointers make the beam itself invisible in a ...

3. Laser safety - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_safety

   Laser safety. Laser radiation safety is the 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 permanent eye injuries, the sale and usage of lasers is typically subject to government regulations.

   In addition to imprisonment on federal charges, a person who aims a laser pointer at an aircraft can be hit with a civil penalty from the FAA, a fine of up to $11,000 per incident. In 2021, the ...

5. Diode-pumped solid-state laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode-pumped_solid-state_laser

   A diode-pumped solid-state laser (DPSSL) is a solid-state laser made by pumping a solid gain medium, for example, a ruby or a neodymium-doped YAG crystal, with a laser diode. DPSSLs have advantages in compactness and efficiency over other types, and high power DPSSLs have replaced ion lasers and flashlamp-pumped lasers in many scientific ...

6. Lasers and aviation safety - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasers_and_aviation_safety

   Lasers and aviation safety. Lasers are one of the main threats of aviation safety. Under certain conditions, laser light or other bright lights (spotlights, searchlights) directed at aircraft can be a hazard. The most likely scenario is when a bright visible laser light causes distraction or temporary flash blindness to a pilot, during a ...

7. Laser designator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_designator

   A laser designator is a laser light source which is used to designate a target. Laser designators provide targeting for laser-guided bombs, missiles, or precision artillery munitions, such as the Paveway series of bombs, AGM-114 Hellfire, or the M712 Copperhead round, respectively. When a target is marked by a designator, the beam is invisible ...
