Abstract

The term LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. In today’s world, the Laser is a convenient handheld device that produces coherent light and has found widespread industrial and scientific applications. For instance, infrared lasers are implemented in barcode scanners, in thermometers for concreting and in laser levels for site survey.
