WHAT IS THE LASER TECHNOLOGY? This technology uses light to store,

transfer, or print images and text.

HOW THE LASER TECHNOLOGY IS USED

The laser generates light energy by converting the energy states of a material. The energy level of an atom is a function of its temperature. Its lowest energy level is called its "ground state." The application of additional heat, light, or electric field can raise its energy level. Glass tubing filled with neon gas, works on this principle. Two electrodes are inserted in the ends of the glass tubing and a high voltage is applied to the electrodes to raise the energy levels of the gas atoms.

WHERE LASER TECHNOLOGY IS USED

The military uses laser technology for 3D laser inspections.

Garment industries uses the laser technology for the cutting of fabrics.eg. (lather).

Dental institutions uses the laser technology to perform certain surgical procedures.

Used for surgery and in weaponry design
