A line laser is a laser with an optic, to generate a laser line instead of a point (e.g. laser pointer).

By using lasers it becomes possible to project individual- and multiple lines for use with image processing. While used in refractive single line optics (Powell-lenses, cylindrical-lenses), it makes diffraction optical element in combination with Powell-lenses possible for projection of multiple lines and matrices.

Depending on the application, different optics can be used to generate lines, crosses, or other patterns. Equipment for civil engineering and interior design projects horizontal or vertical levels, with which the measurement of the indoor or the levelling of a small building site is shown easier.
