What is power broadening in lasers?

Power broadening is an effect whereby the line-width of a laser is broadened by the laser intensity itself. Higher laser intensity leads to a larger line-width. This can be explained by considering the decay rate of atoms from the upper to lower laser level. As the laser intensity increases, this decay rate (which is linearly related to the line-width) increases due to stimulated emission.


What is laser measuring equipment used for?

Laser measuring equipment is something that is used by architects, designers, builders and homeowners as a means of measurement for distance. The laser is pointed at the target and the device will provide a measurement of the distance.


How can you see the beam from a laser?

Power applied to laser, wavelength & angle of viewing it.


How does laser light detection works by?

A laser can detect the distance of an object as well as an object's reflectance, or intensity. To detect the distance of the laser source to a particular object, the round trip travel times of a laser pulse are accurately measured and recorded from the source, to the target and back. Since the speed of the laser pulse is known, using the formula distance = velocity * time, the distance can be calculated. Laser sensors can also record the amount of light returned from a target surface, which is characterized by its reflection coefficient and its surface properties. For example snow would be the highest reflectance and asphalt would be one of the lowest.


How is LASER light able to cut materials such as fabric?

A LASER of sufficient power will vaporize the material where the beam hits it.
