    This is a list of laser types, their operational wavelengths, and their applications. Thousands of kinds of laser are known, but most of them are used only for specialized research.

  3. Laser cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_cutting

    Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to vaporize materials, resulting in a cut edge. While typically used for industrial manufacturing applications, it is now used by schools, small businesses, architecture, and hobbyists. Laser cutting works by directing the

  4. Laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser

    A laser is a device that emits light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. The word laser is an anacronym that originated as an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.

  5. Laser projector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_projector

    A laser projector is a device that projects changing laser beams on a screen to create a moving image for entertainment or professional use. It consists of a housing that contains lasers, mirrors , galvanometer scanners, and other optical components.

  6. Laser scanning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_scanning

    Laser scanning is the controlled deflection of laser beams, visible or invisible. Scanned laser beams are used in some 3-D printers , in rapid prototyping , in machines for material processing, in laser engraving machines, in ophthalmological laser systems for the treatment of presbyopia , in confocal microscopy , in laser printers , in laser ...

  7. Laser beam machining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_beam_machining

    Laser beam machining (LBM) is a form of machining that uses heat directed from a laser beam. This process uses thermal energy to remove material from metallic or nonmetallic surfaces. The high frequency of monochromatic light will fall on the surface, thus heating, melting and vaporizing the material due to the impinge of photons (see Coulomb ...

    To give another example, of a more powerful laserthe type that might be used in an outdoor laser show: a 6-watt green (532 nm) laser with a 1.1 milliradian beam divergence is an eye hazard to about 1,600 feet (490 meters), can cause flash blindness to about 8,200 feet (1.5 mi/2.5 km), causes veiling glare to about 36,800 feet (7 mi; 11 km ...

  10. Helium–neon laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium–neon_laser

    A helium–neon laser or He-Ne laser is a type of gas laser whose high energetic medium gain medium consists of a mixture of ratio (between 5:1 and 20:1) of helium and neon at a total pressure of approximately 1 Torr (133 Pa) inside a small electrical discharge. The best-known and most widely used He-Ne laser operates at a wavelength of 632.8 ...

  11. Laser lighting display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_lighting_display

    A laser lighting display or laser light show involves the use of laser light to entertain an audience. A laser light show may consist only of projected laser beams set to music, or may accompany another form of entertainment, typically musical performances.
