The Landscape of Laser is a random landscape of terms about a device for the creation, amplification, and transmission of a narrow, intense beam of coherent light.

Laser applications:

1. Scientific (Spectroscopy, Lunar laser ranging, Photochemistry, Laser cooling, Nuclear fusion, Finderscope).

2. Military (Defensive applications, Strategic Defense Initiative, Laser sight, Illuminator Laser, Rangefinder, Target designator, Death ray).

3. Medical (Cosmetic surgery, Eye surgery, Laser scalpel, Dental procedures, Hair regrowth and tissue stimulation, "No-Touch" removal of tumors, especially of the brain and spinal cord).

4. Industrial & Commercial (Ablation, Cutting, welding, marking, Rangefinder, Surveying, Pollution monitoring, CD/DVD player, Laser printers, digital minilabs, Barcode readers, Laser engraving, Laser pointers, holography, laser light displays, Photolithography, Optical communications, Guidance systems, Optical tweezers, Light Scattering, Visual Effects, 3D Measurement).

 This word storming (brainstorming) is a mental exercise for producing ideas by right brain thinking (random, visual, subjective, emotional, holistic, intuitive, creative, divergent).
