What impact have LASERs had on human life?

Quite a lot. In developed countries, hardly a home DOESN'T have laser equipment. (Reminder: both CDs and DVDs use laser.) Lasers are also used for certain surgeries, for precision measurements, and for other purposes. You may want to read the Wikipedia article on "Laser" for more details.


Do inertial confinement fusion use lasers?

Yes, inertial confinement fusion uses high-energy lasers to compress and heat a fuel pellet, typically containing deuterium and tritium, to trigger a nuclear fusion reaction. The intense laser beams are focused on the fuel pellet to create the extreme conditions necessary for fusion to occur.

Are lasers illegal?

Well i dont think so but you can get arrested if you do something bad with the etc, shine them at aircraft, blind some one and so on ...In general lasers of 1mW or lower power are legal without a license. Lasers of higher power must be licensed, the users have special training, and often automatic cutoff mechanisms must be installed to shut off the laser if someone enters the room. Following those restrictions any laser can be legal.However even with a 1mW laser, don't aim it at a car, airplane, etc. It might briefly blind the driver, pilot, etc. causing an accident that you would be legally responsible for! The laser may be legal but the action isn't.


Can you use any type of crystal in in a laser?

No, not all crystals can be used in a laser. The crystal must have specific properties to amplify light effectively, such as high optical quality, transparency, and the ability to be coated for maximum reflection. Common crystals used in lasers include ruby, Nd:YAG, and Ti:sapphire.

Will policemen and soldiers use laser guns?

Possibly. Laser weapons have been made already, but they're not cheap, reliable, or portable to use. Interestingly, lasers could turn out to be safer than traditional guns. But in the end, the only safe kind of gun is. No. Gun. At. All.


How do laser speed guns use lasers?

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.

What are the example of liquid laser?

Some examples of liquid lasers are dye lasers, which use organic dyes dissolved in a solvent as the gain medium, and liquid crystal lasers, which use liquid crystal materials to create the gain necessary for laser emission. These liquid lasers have tunable emission wavelengths and can be used in various research and industrial applications.
