Application Laser in Military
Defensive Counter measures
low power infrared countermeasures to high power, airborne laser systems.
-
Target Designator
Low-power laser pointer used to indicate a target for a precision-guided munition, typically launched from an aircraft.
The guided munition adjusts its flight-path to home in to the laser light reflected by the target, enabling a great precision in aiming
Lasers used for this purpose are usually infrared lasers, so the enemy cannot easily detect the guiding laser light.
Firearms
Laser sight
It use to illuminates an opponent with harmless low-power laser light and can have the effect of dazzling or disorienting the subject or causing them to flee.

In addition to the applications that cross over with military applications, a widely known law enforcement use of lasers is for lidar to measure the speed of vehicles.
Holographic weapon sight
Uses a laser diode to illuminate a hologram of a reticle built into a flat glass optical window of the sight.
The user looks through the optical window and sees a cross hair reticle image superimposed at a distance on the field of view.
Eye-targeted lasers
A laser sight is a small, usually visible-light laser placed on a handgun or a rifle and aligned to emit a beam parallel to the barrel.
Since a laser beam has low divergence, the laser light appears as a small spot even at long distances
Most laser sights use a red laser diode. Others use an infrared diode to produce a dot invisible to the naked human eye but detectable with night vision devices.
In the late 1990s, green diode pumped solid state laser (DPSS) laser sights (532 nm) became available.
