   Laser

   In September 2007, the BBC News reported that there was speculation about the possibility of using positronium annihilation to drive a very powerful gamma ray laser. ... Pulsed Ruby and Pulsed YAG lasers have been used.

   Laser diode

   This laser diode was taken from a CD-ROM drive. ... Violet lasers are used in HD DVD and Blu-ray technology.
3. close

   Enzyme kinetics

   The most sensitive enzyme assays use lasers focused through a microscope to observe changes in single enzyme molecules as they catalyse their reactions. ... On the left is shown a typical progress curve for an enzyme assay.
4. close

   Laser safety

   It is still used by US laser product safety regulations. ... Audience scanning -- use of lasers in light shows, where they are deliberately directed into the audience to create special effects
5. close

   Laser applications

   The distance to the target can then be used to aim a weapon such as a tank's main gun. ... Another military use of lasers is as a laser target designator.
6. close

   Nova laser

   To date most ICF experiments have used lasers to heat the targets. ... Building large Nd:glass lasers had not been attempted before, and LLNL's early research focussed primarily on how to make these devices.
7. close

   Inertial confinement fusion

   To compress and heat the fuel, energy is delivered to the outer layer of the target using high-energy beams of laser light, electrons or ions, although for a variety of reasons, almost all ICF devices to date have used lasers.
8. close

   Quantum dot laser

   In comparison to the performance of conventional strained quantum well lasers of the past, the new quantum dot laser achieves significantly higher stability of temperature.
9. close

   Lasers and aviation safety

   Lasers are even used, or proposed for use, with aircraft. ... Amending existing laws, or enacting new ones, to try to discourage irresponsible laser use.
10. close

    National Ignition Facility

    To date most ICF experiments have used lasers to heat the targets. ... The public fighting between the various Department of Energy laboratories soon started anew.
