Lasers are used in cutting and precision tools for its ability to show where the cutting will occur with a red dot.
Lots of modern weaponry and military equipment use lasers. Laser sights are placed on guns to mark where the bullet will land and night vision and thermal goggles use lasers to enhance vision. Laser-based weapons that use lasers to cut through armor are currently under development.
Laser light shows use lasers to draw bright images on a screen.
Lasers are used in wireless mice to detect movement.
High-powered lasers can cut through hard objects with ease.
Lasers are used in speed detectors.
Some research suggests that lasers can be used to lift lightcraft into space.
