• TYPES OF LASER LIGHT SOURCE:
SOLID STATE LASER
 RUBY LASER
 ND:YAG LASR
 ND:GLASS LASER.
Liquid
dye laser.
Gas laser:
1.Helium laser 2.Argon ion laser 3.krypton ion laser
4.carbondioxide laser 5.Excimer laser
Semi conductor laser,xray laser,chemical laser
LASER TELEMETRIC SYSTEM
Construction:
The Laser telemetric system consist of three
components.
 Transmitter
 Receiver
 Processor electronics
SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF LASER TELEMETRIC SYSTEM
SCANNING LASER GAUGE
The scanning laser gauge is used for dimensional measurements.
 INTERFEROMETER
• The phenon of interaction of light is called
Interference.
 For interference to occurthe two light rays
must be coheren.
 It possible only when the two rays are
orginated from the same point of the light
source at the same time.
Interferometer
 Two types of laser interferometer
AC LASER
DC LASER
USES OF LASER:
Since laser produce very thin,straight beam
and they are used for measurement and
alignments
They are also used for caliberate precision
machine and measuring device

Advantage of Ac interferometer

High repeatability

• · High accuracy

• · Long range optical path

• · Easy installations

• · Wear and tear
