| Jun 9 at 1:57 | comment | added | Nosajimiki | @FlaStorm32 There is a USA based company that specializes in military grade electro lasers that publicly announced they were under contract to develop one a few years back, but the project has since become classified... so... there is a very good chance that such a weapon exists by now, but its details are not public knowledge. | |
| Jun 9 at 1:54 | comment | added | Nosajimiki | @user73910 Sorry, I did not explain this well, but I was going off the basis of how weak an individual pulse would be and how rapidly you'd have pulse your laser to get get up to a weapons grade laser. As L.Dutch pointed out, each pulse is only 1mJ; so, you'd have to pulse the laser a minimum of 1 million times a second to have enough power output to be an effective anti-personnel weapon. Because plasma takes several milliseconds to expand enough to get out the way, an ideal pulse rate for a weaponized pulse laser should be nor more than a few hundred pulses per second. | |
| Jun 8 at 23:48 | comment | added | user73910 | I think your first paragraph shows a confusion between pulse duration and period. Pulse duration is how long a given pulse lasts, which IRL can be between several picoseconds down to femtoseconds. Pulse period is the time between pulses. | |
