TS EN ISO 11145

TS EN ISO 11145 is a vocabulary standard that defines the basic terms, symbols and units of measurement used for lasers and laser-related equipment. In optics and photonics, consistent terminology is essential so that beam parameters, product characteristics and technical documentation are understood in the same way across laboratories, manufacturers and users. The standard’s main purpose is to unify the language of laser technology.

Why laser terminology is gathered into a dedicated vocabulary

Laser systems involve a broad technical field ranging from beam geometry and output characteristics to wavelength and beam-parameter descriptions. Clear definitions help measurement results speak the same language and support consistent wording in drawings, catalogues and test reports. As a vocabulary standard, this document is about shared terminology rather than introducing a new test method or a device design requirement.

What the scope means in practice

• It covers the basic terms used in laser technology.
• It brings symbols and units of measurement into the same framework.
• It provides the terminology basis for clear beam-parameter definitions.
• It supports consistent description of laser-oriented product properties.
• Its focus is on naming and notation, not on defining a standalone equipment design standard.

This listing is the Turkish adoption of the ISO 11145-based TS EN ISO 11145 document. It serves as a reference framework for engineers, test laboratories and technical writers working with laser optics, photonics and optoelectronic applications, helping them use common expressions in measurement and documentation.
