What is spiking in ruby laser?
In a ruby laser, spiking refers to the phenomenon where there are short but intense bursts of laser light emitted between the main laser pulses. This can happen due to the presence of residual optical feedback or internal reflections within the laser cavity, causing these uncontrolled spikes in laser output.
What is the most powerful laser researchers can build?
Currently, the most powerful laser built is the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) Beamlines facility in the Czech Republic. It has a peak power of up to 10 petawatts, which is 10 million billion watts. This laser is used for various scientific experiments, including studying particle acceleration and ultrafast phenomena.
How much radiaton does a laser emmit?
The amount of radiation emitted by a laser varies depending on the type and power of the laser. However, laser radiation is generally considered to be low-risk compared to other sources of radiation, such as X-rays or nuclear radiation. It is important to follow safety protocols when working with lasers to minimize any potential health risks.
1 MW is not a distance it is a measure of power..
1 Megawatt=1million watts
MW can also stand for molecular wight which also is not a distance
What are the rules of laser tag?
It depends on which laser tag facility you play, however some general rules are that you cannot run, climb, jump, sit, kneel, lie-down, make physical contact with other players, use offensive language, nor cover any sesnors.
What are the physics to a laser tag gun?
The "physics behind the laser tag" deals with the sub-field area of study known as Optics. Optics is the study of the behaviour and properties of light. It is a branch of the physical sciences. Sir Isaac Newton, the world renowned British physicist, wrote a book on the material labeled "Optiks," that was released to the public in 1704. Refraction is also a very significant concept when it comes to the "physics behind the laser tag." Refraction is the bending of light rays ( the laser of the laser gun in this case) as it passes between two different "medium" (2 medium makes up a "media"). The 2 medium in this case is the wall and the room adjacent to the wall. A good idea for introducing your class to this inter discipline of physics would be a PowerPoint or a practical science-fair themed like project with a Hypothesis and all that sort of stuff. Also, remember that a science paper project must be written in APA format (which shows subscripts and superscripts). It also must be very clear and concise, and all the concepts must be explained accurately.
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.
How do the lasers work in laser tag?
When a laser tag phaser fires a shot what you see is a laser beam. The laser beam is for affect only. What scores the actual hit or tag depends on the system in which you are playing )typically it's an IR or infrared signal), much like the kind used in your television remote control.
While you are firing an actual laser in laser tag, the actual entity tagging an opponent's pack is typically an IR signal.
Agree" sales(@)kitelaser.com
The above answer is fairly accurate, however to be more specific, it's not Infra-Red signals that determine whether a tag is scored as much as it is FM signals, much like the frequencies used in radio.
Disagree:
I know for a fact that pure laser tag, without IR or FM first existed commercially in 1986 and used solar cells as receivers. Why it never really took off until recently I do not know.
Laser Runner claims to be the only existing pure laser tag technology:

Laser tag was invented by George A. Carter III, an American engineer, in 1977. He created a system called "Photon" that used infrared technology for players to tag each other in simulated combat games.
Who in invented the first laser?
American physicist Theodore Maiman constructed the first working laser in 1960.
But research started in 1958
Of course! In fact, as they all say, the more the merrier! Have as many players as you like.
There are no inherent risks of laser tag.
LASER stands for Light Amplification of Stimulated Emission of Radiation so there is radiation involved however you are exposed to more radiation within one minute of exposure to the sun or your household microwave than you would be in a multitude of laser tag games.
Anytime you're exposed to the general public, you are also exposed to their actions, so from time to time people can sustain injuries from others who make physical contact (which is against the rules in all public laser tag facilities) or by fall down or "running" into a wall, etc.
The lasers themselves pose absolutely no danger to people. The lasers used in laser tag are classified as a Class II cosmetic laser and is less intense than what you would find at the grocery store checkout or a laser pointer.
Additionaly, at most facilities, laser tag is a play at your own risk game and as most laser tag companies use a simulated fog in their arena and flashing lights, some asthmatics and those with photosensitive epilepsy are encouraged not to play.
Very true, The laser does no harm to you, unless you aren't listening to the rules, or hurt yourself while hiding, there is no way you could be harmed. the rules are:
-no running-you couldn't fall.
-No lying down, sitting, or kneeling-noone will trip over anyone
-no jumping or climbing- you wont fall off anything.
so have fun.
There actually is one harm of laser tag from the lasers which may cause blindness if seen by the eye but it is unlikely.
How much does a laser marking machine cost?
It depends on the condition and brand of the machine. They may be anywhere from 300 dollars, to two thousand dollars. It also depends on where you buy from. From a manufacturer will be cheaper.
And actually we are the manufacture of the laser cutting machine,(professional equipment and reasonal price4) it also depends on the size and power of which you choose. I conisder that you should have a deep investigation on this field, if you need more info, you can visit our web: KITELASER or email me: sales(@)kitelaser.com
What are some of the leading laser tag systems?
There is not an extensive amount of laser tag system brands; therefore, those that do exist are either extremely high quality or not worth your time at all. Some of the high quality names of laser tag systems include LaserMaxx, Zone Laser Tag, and Steradian Technologies. You can visit each of their websites to find out more information on their products and services.
The point of the game is to tag your opponents without being tagged yourself. As with most laser tag systems, you wear a laser tag vest and carry a laser, both of which have flashing sensors on them which is what you're trying to tag.
When you are tagged, you can't tag or be tagged for up to 10 seconds (this "downtime" is dependent on the system in which you are playing.)
Some basic strategies are to always be looking to tag other players as typically you get more points for tagging a person than you lose for being tagged.
Another recommended strategy is to keep moving so as to make it harder for others to tag you.
With some systems, certain sensors are easier to tag than others, so if you really want to know, the best advice is to ask the employees of the laser tag facility what sensors are easier to tag than others.
You can also play outdoor laser tag. The laser use infrared, just like your TV remote control, however it is more difficult to use these "store bought" systems in full daylight.
How do you sign up for scorpion island?
You have to wait for the announcement of another series and then send in an application form to the broadcaster. It is a very careful selection process and a lot of people apply but you can't be selected if you don't enter! No new series have been announced yet - you will have to wait until 2009 to see whether they will make any more.
Where can someone buy laser tag equipment?
- You can buy laser tag stuff at Toys R Us. It should be about 40 dollars. If you cant find anywhere there you can try Walmart or you can buy them online. You get 2 guns and 2 vests.

Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
A "laser" is a light source created when a light amplifier is placed between a pair of mirrors. The mirrors bounce the light back into the amplifier, producing feedback, and the amplifier repeatedly amplifies the light as it passes back and forth. To let the light escape from between the mirrors, one semi-transparent mirror is used on one end.
Laser light is very pure in frequency (called "monochromatic.") Laser light also behaves as if it comes from a single point (called "spatial coherence.) Laser light is not necessarily intense, and not necessarily parallel. However, because laser light comes from a single point, a lens can concentrate the light back down to form an intensely bright point. Or, the bright point of light can be projected into the distance, forming a narrow parallel beam.
Lasers are used for highlighting lights in presentations, and sold as toys in mild form, they can also be used in many industrial applications and weapon systems. Common industrial lasers use a CO2 or YAG tube to run CNC machines capable of cutting and marking plastic, metal, and other materials. Also used in the medical industry for surgical procedures.
Which is better laser tag or bowling?
well it depends if you like the out doors or not. if you do than choose rock climbing but if you don't and if it's a rainy day then choose laser tag
If you take proper precautions it isn't.
Don't run, and don't aim at peoples eyes.
If you don't do these things, you can be safe and have fun.
Where can one go to play games of laser tag?
Sorry, it looks like your options are quite limited if you're looking for laser tag in Brooklyn. Apparently, there is a laser tag facility at Fun Time USA Amusement 2461 Knapp St, Brooklyn, NY, phone # 718-368-0500. Also, Madd Fun Family Entertainment Center 303 Stanley Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, phone # 718-498-9002. Both of these seem to be fairly small arenas, so if you're looking for something bigger, you'll need to travel outside of Brooklyn.
