2. DragonFire (weapon) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonfire_(weapon)

   DragonFire is a British laser directed-energy weapon (LDEW). It was first unveiled to the public as a technology demonstrator in 2017 at the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) conference in London and is being developed by UK DragonFire, a collaboration consisting of MBDA UK, Leonardo UK, QinetiQ and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (dstl).

3. Directed-energy weapon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed-energy_weapon

   A directed-energy weapon (DEW) is a ranged weapon that damages its target with highly focused energy without a solid projectile, including lasers, microwaves, particle beams, and sound beams. Potential applications of this technology include weapons that target personnel , missiles , vehicles, and optical devices.

   English: During a trial at the MOD’s Hebrides Range, the DragonFire laser directed energy weapon (LDEW) system achieved the UK’s first high-power firing of a laser weapon against aerial targets. The range of DragonFire is classified, but it is a line-of-sight weapon and can engage with any visible target.

5. Laser weapon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_weapon

   A simple, dense smoke screen can and will often block a laser beam. Infrared or multi-spectrum [93] smoke grenades or generators will also disturb or block infrared laser beams. Any opaque case, cowling, bodywork, fuselage, hull, wall, shield or armor will absorb at least the "first impact" of a laser weapon, so the beam must be sustained to ...

6. High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Energy_Liquid_Laser...

   The Gen 3 laser has a number of upgrades that provide improved beam quality, increased electrical to optical efficiency, and reduced size and weight; the assembly is small at only 1.3 by 0.4 by 0.5 metres (4.3 ft × 1.3 ft × 1.6 ft), and is powered by a compact Lithium-ion battery to demonstrate deployability on tactical platforms. Beam ...

7. Dazzler (weapon) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazzler_(weapon)

   The Outfit DEC or Laser Dazzle Sight (LDS) is a British ship-based laser. The veiling-glare laser utilizes ultraviolet light and is designed to dazzle by causing fluorescence in the lens of the human eye. There are other such laser weapon systems in development.

8. Laser engraving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_engraving

   The laser is a drawing tool: the beam emitted from it allows the controller to trace patterns onto the surface. The controller determines the direction, intensity, speed of movement, and spread of the laser beam aimed at the surface. The surface is chosen to match the type of material the laser can act on.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured-light_3D_scanner

   Fringe pattern recording system with 2 cameras (avoiding obstructions) Two major methods of stripe pattern generation have been established: Laser interference and projection. The laser interference method works with two wide planar laser beam fronts. Their interference results in regular, equidistant line patterns. Different pattern sizes can ...
