Barcode scanners begin by illuminating the code with red light. The sensor of the barcode scanner detects the reflected light from the illumination system and generates an analog signal with varying voltage that represent the intensity (or lack of intensity) of the reflection.

How does a bar code laser scanner work?
A bar code laser scanner works by shining a bright light (laser light) at the barcode and measuring the reflected beam. In order to scan the entire barcode very quickly, the light is bounced off a spinning disk to cover the entire barcode in one pass.
What are types of technolgical applications for lazers?
Lazers do not exist. Lasers do, here is a short list of applications: bar code scanner, pointer, electric eyes, range finders, guidance systems, interferometers, high energy physics, medical/dental, optical disks (cds, dvd, blue ray), laser induced breakdown spectroscopy, matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry, cutting devices... originally people wondered what the use of lasers could be, now the question is more of what can't a laser do.
What is a work-energy-bar chart?
A work-energy-bar chart show the amount of energy that an object has by means of a vertical bar. The chart helps students to understand the work-energy related problems and set up equations correctly.
How do bar magnets work?

What is measurement for millibar?
1 Bar is 1 atmosphere of pressure. Much used in very high pressure work. 1 Bar is approx 1kg/cm2

What companies make bar code scanners with laser technology?

How do the lines on a bar code and a scanner of bar codes work?
Most bar codes you will see on consumer products have the numbers below. A Bar code is a way of making information readable to a machine. It does this, similar to morse code, by encoding normal letters and numbers as patterns of thick and thin black lines. The purpose of the bar code is to tightly control the comparison between the thick and thin lines, and the space in between, so that the pattern has a high chance of being read correctly. Every letter in the alphabet has a corresponding bar code character, when the bar code reader scans the bar code its electronics translate the bar code into the letters, and send these letters in machine code to the computer. Some bar code readers use what is called a "wedge" - they are plugged in between the keyboard and the computer, and send signals into the keyboard port of the computer exactly as if the operator had typed in the numbers on the bar code.
When were bar codes scanners used?
The use of bar code scanners exploded in the 70s as the technology quickly spread to retail outlets.

What bar code uses laser beams to read bar codes?
barcode
Is a bar code scanner also called a handheld scanner?
There are handheld bar code scanners, so a handheld bar code scanner is a bar code scanner, but a bar code scanner is not necessarily a handheld scanner. There are bar code scanners in store checkout stands that are fixed, and there may or may not be an associated handheld scanner there for the clerk to use to scan, say, a large bag of dog food that the customer doesn't want to hoist up onto the counter.
