Lasers exploit particle physics to convert electrical power into a very tightly concentrated beam of light. The term 'laser' stands for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation." ...
That’s more than three times the power output of today’s most advanced tactical laser system… but even such a laser would likely struggle to burn through the nosecone of a hypersonic missile.
Any advance in laser tech has huge potential across a whole range of fields – from space comms to fusion power – and we just got a big one: ultra-short laser pulses of up to 100 megawatts, the most ...
Lasers in which the active medium consists of a low-pressure gas of carbon dioxide molecules have been used to produce the most powerful continuous laser beams achieved to date By C. K. N. Patel ...
