Laser lights are spectrally pure, i.e. one wavelength, and they are coherent, i.e. all phota in phase. As a result, the beam of a laser light tends to stay as beam, and not diverge due to scattering.

To put it simply, a laser distance measuring device consists of 2 basic parts; an (laser) emitter and a receiver. The emitter part knows when it is transmitting pulses of laser light and is synchronized with the receiver. The laser light beam is travelling at the speed of light, so the distance travelled is calculated based on the AMOUNT TIME IT TAKES TO REACH THE RECEIVER, that its round trip time divided by 2.
The energy band gap between the cathode and anode is too small to generate photons of higher energy than far IR.Silicon is opaque to visible light (and even IR).

I used Palsma Pulser, Hunter's Autogun and Laser Focus and Light Cannon from my Battle Hammer v.2
The main difference is that laser light is coherent, meaning the light waves are aligned and moving in a single direction, while ordinary white light is non-coherent, with light waves traveling in random directions. Laser light is also monochromatic, meaning it consists of a single color, while white light contains a mixture of different colors.
A laser produces coherent light that is monochromatic, meaning it emits a single color or wavelength of light. In contrast, ordinary light consists of multiple wavelengths, producing a range of colors. This is why lasers are often used in applications that require precise and specific colors.
Laser diffraction involves the use of a laser beam to analyze particle size distribution, providing more accurate and precise results compared to ordinary light diffraction. On the other hand, ordinary light diffraction uses a broader spectrum of light, making it less specific and more prone to errors in measurement. Laser diffraction typically has a higher resolution and can detect smaller particle sizes than ordinary light diffraction.
Focusing laser light is more effective than ordinary light because laser light is coherent and monochromatic, allowing it to be tightly focused into a small beam with minimal divergence. This concentrated beam of laser light enables more precise control and greater intensity, making it ideal for applications such as surgery, cutting, and communications.
Yes. There is a huge difference between a 1-watt laser and a 1-watt light bulb. A 1-watt laser will burn a hole in your eye.
While both optical in laser mice require a light source in order to detect movement, the difference between the two technologies are optical mice use LEDs as their light source while laser mice use infrared laser that cannot be seen by the human eye. Laser mice are also much more precise than optical mice due to a higher DPI tolerance.
LEDs, known as light emitting diodes, are comprised of two lead semiconductor light sources. Laser transmitters, also known as laser diodes are comprised of an electrically charged semiconductor laser.
Laser is non diverging one and monochromatic. It is coherent and hence highly intense. So laser could be sent even to reach moon's surface and get it back reflected. So distance of astronomical objects could be found.
A laser emits light that is coherent, meaning the waves are in phase with each other. This coherence enables the laser light to produce well-defined interference patterns when combined with another laser beam or reflected off a surface. In contrast, ordinary light sources emit incoherent light with random phase relationships, making it difficult to observe interference effects.
because that's the way it is....
Continuous I assume would mean a constant flow of light from the laser in the form of a wave train. Conversely, a pulse is only a single wave emitted by the laser.
A laser beam is a coherent light source that emits a narrow beam of light due to the alignment of its waves. In contrast, light from a tube light is incoherent and emits light in all directions, resulting in a blurry appearance. The difference in coherence and directionality between laser light and tube light accounts for their distinct characteristics.
