Aiming Beam

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

A laser (or other light source) used as a guide light. Used coaxially with infrared or other invisible light may also be a reduced level of the actual laser used for surgery or for other ...

Amplification

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

The growth of the radiation field in the laser resonator cavity. As the light wave bounces back and forth between the cavity mirrors, it is amplified by stimulated emission on each pass through the ...

Amplitude

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

The maximum value of the electromagnetic wave, measured from the mean to the extreme; simply stated: the height of the wave.

Angstrom

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

A unit of measure of wavelength equal to 10-10 meter, 0.1 nanometer, or 10-4 micrometer, no longer widely used nor recognised in the SI system of units.

Apparent Visual Angle

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

The angular subtense of the source as calculated from the source size and distance from the eye. It is not the beam divergence of the source.

AR Coatings

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

Antireflection coatings used on optical components to suppress unwanted reflections.
