Point-to-point laser technology (PPLT) [1] refers to a technology that enables a user or surveyor to survey or capture a building's geometry in real time or while on site by translating laser range finder data directly into a Computer-aided design (CAD) or building information models (BIM) work station.
A laser rangefinder, also known as a laser telemeter, is a rangefinder that uses a laser beam to determine the distance to an object. The most common form of laser rangefinder operates on the time of flight principle by sending a laser pulse in a narrow beam towards the object and measuring the time taken by the pulse to be reflected off the ...
Laser-ultrasonics uses lasers to generate and detect ultrasonic waves. [1] It is a non-contact technique used to measure materials thickness, detect flaws and carry out materials characterization. The basic components of a laser-ultrasonic system are a generation laser, a detection laser and a detector.
Emily Sophie Hastings Brooke MBE (born November 1985) is a British inventor, industrial designer and entrepreneur known for having developed the Beryl (formerly Blaze) Laserlights used for Santander Cycles (the London bike rental scheme). [1] [2]
The accuracy of laser trackers is of the order of 0.025 mm over a distance of several metres. [1] Some examples of laser tracker applications are to align aircraft wings during assembly [2] and to align large machine tools. [3] To take measurements the technician first sets up a laser tracker on a tripod with an unobstructed view of the object ...

An optical power meter (OPM) is a device used to measure the power in an optical signal. The term usually refers to a device for testing average power in fiber optic systems. Other general purpose light power measuring devices are usually called radiometers , photometers , laser power meters (can be photodiode sensors or thermopile laser ...
A coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) is a device that measures the geometry of physical objects by sensing discrete points on the surface of the object with a probe. Various types of probes are used in CMMs, the most common being mechanical and laser sensors, though optical and white light sensors do exist.
