Abstract
Laser radiation is a high-quality form of electromagnetic energy enabling a multitude of new methods and applications, such as material processing, biomedical and communication technologies, and measuring methods. The advantages of lasers in measuring technologies are the noncontacting measurement, high flexibility, and high measuring speeds. Due to these features, laser measuring methods and applications have encountered a dynamic development during the last years. Laser measuring methods were introduced successfully in production technology, process engineering, quality assurance, environmental technology, and life sciences.
