Lasers used for weapons guidance will aim at very specific areas of the ship possibly located several meters or tens of meters away from the LWR [laser warning receiver] location. LWRs specifically designed for this application will work outside the main beam where detection is due either to off-axis aerosol scattering or port scattering(due to output optics). Laser radiation is scattered from aerosols(dust particles and water droplets) along the entire beam path, creating a spatially distributed radiation source, which creates an angular distribution of the irradiance at the LWR. 1, record 1, English, - aerosol%20scattering

"collimator" : In radiography,... an adjustable beam delimiter attached to the x-ray tube housing the port. Two pairs of movable iron or lead shutters form a rectangular aperture through which the primary beam passes. All new diagnostic x-ray machines are required by federal regulations to have an automatic collimator, which limits the beam to the exact site of the film. 1, record 2, English, - automatic%20collimator
