Completed military section, more to follow. Can military specialists please check that I've used the correct terminology for the weapons, etc. -- DrBob
When lasers are used for range finding, is it simply the time it takes to bounce that is measured, or how the reflecting waves interfere with the waves being emitted? I suspect it is the latter in most cases. I am not sure though... The article states it is always and only the bounce times that are used. Bertus 12:54, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
The part on laser cooling is incomplete and slightly inaccurate. Although it is true that the technique can be used to cool trapped ions, it was originally developped for neutral atoms. Furthermore, to my knowledge, trapped ions cannot form a Bose Einstein condensate because they are spatially separated (they cannot be made to populate a single potential well because they repel due to electrostatic interactions). I will edit this when i have time, but for the time being i think it would be wise to hide most of the paragraph.. or maybe replace the word "ion" by the word "atoms" ? -- michaelmestre 11:10, 18 March 2006
Someone should also mention the ultra precise (up to 0.001mm) lasertracker applications, e.g. by leica.
