Unique Properties of LASER

The document discusses the unique properties and wide applications of lasers. It notes that lasers have highly monochromatic, coherent, collimated beams that can be tuned widely, and produce high power. Due to these properties, lasers have found applications in scientific fields like spectroscopy, astronomy, and nuclear fusion, as well as industrial uses like optical storage, barcodes, printing, and engineering applications like welding and cutting. Lasers also have important medical uses such as in eye surgery and dermatology procedures.
