Laser 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… … Wikipedia
Laser beam profiler — A laser beam profiler captures, displays, and records the spatial intensity profile of a laser beam at a particular plane transverse to the beam propagation path. Since there are many types of lasers ultraviolet, visible, infrared, continuous… … Wikipedia
Laser-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… … Wikipedia
Laser 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… … Wikipedia
laser seeker — A device based on a direction sensitive receiver which detects the energy reflected from a laser designated target and defines the direction of the target relative to the receiver. See also laser guided weapon … Military dictionary
Laser microphone — A laser microphone is a surveillance device that uses a laser beam to detect sound vibrations in a distant object. The object is typically inside a room where a conversation is taking place, and can be anything that can vibrate (for example, a… … Wikipedia
laser designator — A device that emits a beam of laser energy used to mark a specific place or object. It also is used to steer laser guided bombs or missiles onto targets. A laser designator may be ground based, an aircraft delivering ordnances may carry it, or it … Aviation dictionary
warning receiver — A passive electromagnetic/IR (infrared)/laser receiver with the primary aim of warning about the presence of enemy aircraft and/or a missile launch. The illustration shows a typical radar warning receiver … Aviation dictionary
