Other Kinds of Lasers

Along with the many kinds of lasers presented in this blog, there are a few to put into the miscellaneous file. Here is a list of some other lasers and there basic applications:
  • Dye Lasers- used for spectroscopy, various kinds of research, birthmark removal, and for separating isotopes. The range of this laser can be tuned by changing the kind of dye used.
  • Free electron lasers- has various medical uses, atmospheric research, and material science.
  • Nickel-like samarium lasers- can possibly be used for high resolution microscopy and holography.
  • Raman lasers- used in creating optical signal amplification for telecommunications etc.
  • Nuclear pumped lasers- currently being used for research.
If you have been able to read more of this blog, you will know that these are miscellaneous types of lasers. However, each of these lasers can be very useful in the advancement of medicine, communications, and other scientific research.
