  2. Shot grouping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_grouping

    In shotgun shooting, the grouping is also called the pattern or "spread". The pattern indicates the extent of scattering by shots from a single shotshell, measured as the smallest circle containing all the shots on the target. The barrel of a shotgun is choked to deliver a wider or narrower scattering, depending on the expected use. Shooting at ...

  3. Electronic speckle pattern interferometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_speckle_pattern...

    Electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI), [1] also known as TV holography, is a technique that uses laser light, together with video detection, recording and processing, to visualise static and dynamic displacements of components with optically rough surfaces. The visualisation is in the form of fringes on the image, where each fringe ...

    The second was that the shot would spread too quickly providing a very limited effective zone. Offset chokes, where the pattern is intentionally slightly off of center, are used to change the point of impact. For instance, an offset choke can be used to make a double barrelled shotgun with poorly aligned barrels hit the same spot with both barrels.

    It was later realized that speckle patterns could carry information about the object's surface deformations. Butters and Leendertz developed the technique of speckle pattern interferometry in 1970, [97] and since then, speckle has been exploited in a variety of other applications. A photograph is made of the speckle pattern before deformation ...

  6. Direct laser interference patterning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_laser_interference...

    The angle between the overlapping laser beams and the wavelength of the used laser determine the structure size (period) of the applied periodic intensity distribution. In contrast to other laser-based processing methods, such as direct laser writing, the laser beam diameter has not to be focused. This means that a significantly larger area can ...

    The user then adjusts the iron sights or scope reticle to align the point of aim with the projected laser dot. Another more commonly used type of laser boresighter is attached to the muzzle of the barrel, either inserted straight into the bore ("arbor" type) or held in alignment with the barrel via a magnet, and projects a laser beam onto the ...

    A holographic image can also be obtained using a different laser beam configuration to the original recording object beam, but the reconstructed image will not match the original exactly. [2]: Section 2.3 When a laser is used to reconstruct the hologram, the image is speckled just as the original image will have been. This can be a major ...

  9. Laser engraving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_engraving

    A laser engraving machine consists of three main parts: a laser, a controller, and a surface. [2] The laser is a drawing tool: the beam emitted from it allows the controller to trace patterns onto the surface. The controller determines the direction, intensity, speed of movement, and spread of the laser beam aimed at the surface.
