Lidar laser technology.

A Geospatial Technology.
Laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is a mechanism for devices that emit electromagnetic radiation, usually in the form of light can not be seen or can see with normal eyes, through the process of stimulated emission. Usually a single laser beam, emits photons in a coherent beam. Lasers can also be called quantum mechanical effects.
Since laser was introduced in 1960, as the settlement issue, then the subsequent development of lasers have been used extensively, in many modern applications, including in the field of optics, electronics, optoelectronics, information technology, science, medicine, industry, and the military. In general, the laser is considered as one of the most influential technological achievements of the 20th century.

Military Technology: HELLADS the "Laser Water" High Liquid Laser Area Defense System Energy (HELLADS) is a US defense program to develop high-energy laser-based weapons to defend against threats to airspace. This program aims to develop 150kW laser systems to counter the threat from the ground like a rocket, artillery and mortar (RAM), and surface air like missiles seraangan.
high power lasers are expected to counter some threats such as beams, can travel at the speed of light.

Air LIDAR laser technology capable Reveals presence Lost City in Cambodia.
LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing technology using the properties of scattered light to find range and get the object from the intended target. The method for determining the distance of an object by using laser pulses.

LIDAR technology has uses in the field of geomatics, archeology, geography, geology, geomorphology, seismology, physical atmosphere, and others.

The use of LIDAR in the field of Archaeology.

LIDAR has many applications in the field of archeology, including assisting in the planning field survey, mapping features under the forest canopy, and give a broad overview of-detail, and others. LIDAR can also help archaeologists to create digital elevation models (DEM) high resolution of the archaeological site, which can reveal the micro-topography hidden by vegetation.

Airborne laser technology have discovered the existence of the old town buried hundreds of years in Cambodia. Network of roads and canals were found to connect the city with the temple complex of Angkor Wat in Cambodia famous.

With LIDAR, the ability to produce high-resolution datasets fast and relatively inexpensive. Besides efficiency, the ability to penetrate the forest canopy has been providing discovery feature that can not be distinguished from the traditional geospatial methods and difficult to reach through field surveys.

The discovery of the city "Lost" in Cambodia Using Laser Lidar
Laser imaging reveals the urban landscape more than 1,200 years old.

Airborne laser produces a detailed map of the city, including roads and temples previously undiscovered, hidden under dense vegetation in Phnom Kulen mountain peaks in the province of Siem Reap. It is the lost city of Mahendraparvata.

What we have now with this amazing tool, suddenly, a direct overview of the entire city that people do not know before, is presented. Laser technology, known as Lidar, works by firing laser pulses from aircraft to ground and measure the distance to create a three-dimensional map of the area in detail. It is a useful tool for archaeologists because the laser can penetrate dense vegetation and cover plots are much faster than can be analyzed in the usual way.
