Is laser technology an example of using light as a measurement tool?

Possibly; in theory you could fire a weak laser from one point, then receive it at another and measure it's strength, then use various formulae to work out the distance it had travelled from its strength.
However, various things such as particles in the air could prevent this from working, as the laser can not pass through such objects.
I'm no expert, but I would say that one of a lasers many possible functions could be as a measuring instrument.

What type of light source is used in CD-ROM technology?
laser
What is laser spectroscopy the study of?
Laser spectroscopy studies the effects of lasers on molecules. The main purpose of laser spectroscopy is to learn more about the reactions of molecules to light, and how this can aid in development of light-sensitive technology.
What are the example of monochromatic source of light?
One way to achieve that is with a laser.
What is the technology based on the use of laser light to send signals through transparent wires?
Fiber optics
What are Types of optical technology?
Some examples are Light bulb, fiber optics, laser surgury intruments.
What is a single beam of light called?
ray or laser
What is a laser light with holograph?
a laser light with a holograph is a laser light with holograph.
What is lidar?
LIDAR is a remote sensing technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser and analyzing the reflected light.
A good example of white light?
White light is another name for polychromatic light. That is light that contains more than one wavelength. For example, sunlight is white light. An example of monochromatic light is a sodium vapour lamp or a LASER.
What does a laser wavelength do?
Light wavelengths are indicators of how often photons rise and fall. Visible light, for example, has a wavlength of about 380 nanometres. Laser wavelengths are measured in the same way.
Can a laser be made from a light bulb?
No. Laser light is coherent. Light bulb light is not.
What is a real example of a ray in geometry?
A laser, light from a flashlight, and radio waves are all rays
