Best Answer

An electrode excites photons causing them to give off light. the light goes further back into the laser, there it is bounced off of a mirror to give it time to reach a high enough veloctity. When it gets to the other end fo the laser it hits a semi-silvered mirror which reflects half of the light back into the laser to repeat the process with other light from more photons. The rest of the light continues through the mirror and becomes the laser beam.

It depends what kind of lazer your talking about:

light lazers obviously give off a ray of light and a powerful enough lazer will cut through various items.

Another answer

There are lazer's that are used for medical reasons and eye conditions. Then there are bright colored penlight lazer pointers.

The laser tracks the movement of the surface of which it is on. It then copies the movement and reverses it; If it wasn't like this, the mouse on the screen would go up if you moved the mouse down.

Is laser mouse optical mouse?

There are quite some differences between an optical mouse and a laser mouse. One of the most noticeable differences is the type of rays coming out of the mouse. Now,we all know that from an optical mouse there is (usually) a red light coming out and on the other hand, the laser mouse does not produce such light. It produces an invisible laser beam which is harmless to humans. Also,they say,that laser mouses are much more precise than the previous generation mouses, 'thus making them much more valuable. And finally, you can use laser mouses on almost all surfaces (except glass, mirrors and air) which is quite useful in many situations. Of course,there are many people questioning which is better - the laser mouse or the optical mouse,but one thing is for certain - they may look the same,but they are definitely not the same thing.
