The laser has in most firearms applications been used as a tool to enhance the targeting of other weapon systems. For example, a laser sight is a small, usually visible-light laser placed on a handgun or a rifle and aligned to emit a beam parallel to the barrel.

Applications and notes Free-electron laser: A broad wavelength range (0.1 nm - several mm); a single FEL may be tunable over a wavelength range Relativistic electron beam: Atmospheric research, material science, medical applications. CO₂ gas dynamic laser: Several lines around 10.5 μm; other frequencies may be possible with different gas ...
Spatial coherence allows a laser to be focused to a tight spot, enabling applications such as optical communication, [4] laser cutting, and lithography. It also allows a laser beam to stay narrow over great distances (collimation), a feature used in applications such as laser pointers, lidar, and free-space optical communication.
Laser science or laser physics is a branch of optics that describes the theory and practice of lasers. [ 1 ] Laser science is principally concerned with quantum electronics , laser construction , optical cavity design, the physics of producing a population inversion in laser media , and the temporal evolution of the light field in the laser.
Diagram of a laser cutter Laser cutting process on a sheet of steel CAD (top) and stainless steel laser-cut part (bottom) 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 ...
