The speed gun sends a quick series of laser pulses out, pointed at the vehicle you want to check. The pulses reflect back to a receiver. Knowing the speed of light, a computer measures how far away the car is. The distance the car moves between pulses is compared to the time it took to move (all done by a computer chip). Knowing time/distance equals speed.

How does a laser cutter work?
Lasers used for cutting are rarely found outside of industrial use, as they are extremely dangerous and very large. Laser cutting is done by CO2 lasers or neodymium lasers. CO2 lasers function by energizing a gas mixture of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and helium. Neodymium lasers function in the same way as CO2 lasers, except instead of using gas as the medium, they use a crystal with small amounts of neodymium in it.
