The 'toner' used in the laser sintering process is rather more expensive than that found in a laser printer cartridge.
The high average power infrared Free Electron Laser (FEL) provides intense beams of laser light that can be tuned to atmosphere-penetrating wavelengths.
Even though Thingiverse is more popular in the 3D printing world, it offers a number of laser cutting and laser engraving projects.
Xerox isn't the only player selling supplies for HP laser printers, but it has better name recognition than Lexmark or Laser Quest Services.
Microvision's current pico projection engine uses red and blue laser diodes and a frequency-doubled "synthetic" green laser to create a full color image.
Laser Rangefinder: Again, I have exhaustively tested several brands of handheld GPS devices alongside laser rangefinders, and I now carry only the latter.
Going forward, the LLCD will play a vital part in NASA's 2017 Laser Communications Relay Demonstration, a key test of laser-based relay comms in future missions.
After that, Starkweather and Goldman had an idea for getting the laser printer to market quickly: graft a laser onto a Xerox copier called the 7000.
Newer developments in laser technology, such as nonablative fractional resurfacing, in which the laser divides the light up into many smaller pulses, have decreased the healing time.
Laser is the foundation of countless technologies we use each day: the Internet, digital media, computer hard drives, satellite broadcasting, laser eye surgery, and laser cancer treatment.

The LLCD (Lunar Laser Communications Demonstration) launches on LADEE in January of next year and will demonstrate a laser downlink rate of 622 megabytes from the moon.
FORBES: Future Of NASA's Aging Deep Space Network Lies In X-Rays And Lasers
Can we say that a high-tech process like 3D printing, or laser cutting, or laser sintering, or pick any new tech, is not manufacturing for a new age?
FORBES: Manufacturing Jobs Changing But No Severe Job Skills Gap In USA
In ablative (wounding) laser resurfacing, a laser beam destroys the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and heats the underlying skin (dermis), which stimulates the growth of new collagen fibers.
Much of the billions in this statistic are made up of large systems for large manufacturers, but many maker companies know the value of a laser cutter or laser engraver.
It has also scanned the surface of the planet using Mola (Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter), which beams an infrared laser pulse towards the surface of the Red Planet 10 times a second.
Dr Page said the laboratory had a number of sophisticated microscopes which will be available to Pauline including a confocal laser scanner, which is a microscope which uses a laser to illuminate and fluoresce.
Another laser that came close to being practical enough to use was the Tactical High Energy Laser, also known as the Nautilus laser (pictured above), which was designed to shoot down incoming artillery rounds.
Kent Williams, a senior researcher at Oak Ridge National Laboratory who has worked on other laser enrichment technologies, says laser concentration can be more efficient simply because it doesn't have to be repeated as often.
This X-ray laser was aimed at a piece of aluminum foil, and in less than a trillionth of a second, the laser heated the foil up to 2 million degrees celsius (3.6 million degrees Fahrenheit).
This is made possible by the fact that Blu-ray uses a 405nm laser to read its 0.1mm deep info layer, while HD DVD uses the same blue laser wavelength at the depth of 0.6mm.

These range from microwave ovens and laser light shows to home security systems and medical imaging devices. (CDER even regulates laser pointers but not online presentation software, if ever a true risk to human health).
An ingenious new laser called Waterlase adds to that the ability to cut through dry teeth and bone by casting a cloud of hot water vapor around the laser's cutting point, a couple of millimeters from the tooth.
The laser is also much faster than electrolysis, the only truly permanent treatment on the market: It takes two one-hour sessions to laser off a mans chest hair, while electrolysis would take at least a year of unpleasant weekly visits.
When your iOS device is facing the wall, its camera monitors the field, using computer vision algorithms to detect your laser shots in real time, finally discovering a novel use for laser points that doesn't involve annoying rock bands or cats.

They have been testing a laser system for measuring lunar dust and soil kicked up by rocket exhausts, and while using precipitation as a substitute to calibrate the laser, they found they could measure the average size of raindrops passing through it.
ENGADGET: NASA accidentally improves weather forecasting with lunar dust-measuring lasers
While some of these weapon and sensor systems like the Electromagnetic Railgun or the Free Electron Laser are at least a decade away, the Laser Weapon System and Air and Missile Defense Radar systems are almost ready for prime time deployment today.
FORBES: Ten Clean Energy Technologies The U.S. Military Needs To Win The Next Naval War
Companies that have spent many years developing airborne self-protection laser systems like Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems say some of their competitors for the contract are latecomers to that business who may not fully grasp the challenge of dealing with emerging dangers or integrating laser equipment with all the other systems installed on Army helicopters.
FORBES: Wave Of Consolidation May Be Coming In Military Electronics
It just became possible, thanks to a laser camera developed by physicists at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh, UK. You can pretty much see how it works from the images above -- laser beams are bounced off the target and the duration of their return journey is measured precisely enough to detect millimeter depth changes even at extreme distances.
ENGADGET: Laser scans objects in 3D from half a mile away, scientists just need reason to use it
