BranchingPoint__Kse70KOdEd-WfYQ0GneCwQ_subTitle=In modern everyday life, we come across with the laser for example when the barcode is scanned at the supermarket till or when we are playing CDs and DVDs.Via a microspcopically thin glass fibre, a laser may transmit millions of telephone calls in parallel, and in medical techniques does it render minimal invasive operations possible.
Modern industrial fabrication is unthinkable without the laser, too.
