Interaction of Low-Power Laser Radiation with Surfaces

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Laser - Surface Interactions

Abstract

Various interactions of low-power laser radiation with the surfaces are examined. We describe the applications of this radiation in rangefinders, LIDARs, holography, low-level laser therapy, laser interferometer gravitational-wave observatories, free-space optical communications, laser lighting displays, scanners for barcodes, laser discs, pointers, and printers, laser interferometry and surface velocimetry.
