✦ Synopsis

Measurement of values is fundamental in science and technology. Measurement, Uncertainty and Lasers examines the importance of uncertainty, accuracy and precision of measurement, and explains how laser technology has helped improve measurement and redefine standards. This book discusses SI units, standards and the importance of using lasers for measurement in modern metrology, including the redefinition of SI units over time.

A measurement result is incomplete without a statement of its 'uncertainty' or 'margin of error'. But what does this statement actually tell us? By examining the practical meaning of probability, this book discusses what is meant by a '95 percent interval of measurement uncertainty', and how such an
