2. DragonFire (weapon) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonfire_(weapon)

   DragonFire is a British laser directed-energy weapon (LDEW). It was first unveiled to the public as a technology demonstrator in 2017 at the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) conference in London and is being developed by UK DragonFire, a collaboration consisting of MBDA UK, Leonardo UK, QinetiQ and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (dstl).

3. Directed-energy weapon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed-energy_weapon

   A directed-energy weapon (DEW) is a ranged weapon that damages its target with highly focused energy without a solid projectile, including lasers, microwaves, particle beams, and sound beams. Potential applications of this technology include weapons that target personnel , missiles , vehicles, and optical devices.

4. Laser weapon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_weapon

   A simple, dense smoke screen can and will often block a laser beam. Infrared or multi-spectrum [93] smoke grenades or generators will also disturb or block infrared laser beams. Any opaque case, cowling, bodywork, fuselage, hull, wall, shield or armor will absorb at least the "first impact" of a laser weapon, so the beam must be sustained to ...

5. File:Dragonfire laser system test firing.webp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dragonfire_laser...

   English: During a trial at the MOD’s Hebrides Range, the DragonFire laser directed energy weapon (LDEW) system achieved the UK’s first high-power firing of a laser weapon against aerial targets. The range of DragonFire is classified, but it is a line-of-sight weapon and can engage with any visible target.

6. High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Energy_Liquid_Laser...

   The Gen 3 laser has a number of upgrades that provide improved beam quality, increased electrical to optical efficiency, and reduced size and weight; the assembly is small at only 1.3 by 0.4 by 0.5 metres (4.3 ft × 1.3 ft × 1.6 ft), and is powered by a compact Lithium-ion battery to demonstrate deployability on tactical platforms. Beam ...

7. List of laser types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laser_types

   Projection, life sciences, forensic analysis, spectroscopy, eye surgery, laser light shows. The lasing medium is a semiconductor chip. Frequency doubling or tripling is typically done to produce visible or ultraviolet radiation. Power levels of several watts are possible. Beam quality can be extremely high- often rivaling that of an ion laser.

8. Ruby laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_laser

   A ruby laser is a solid-state laser that uses a synthetic ruby crystal as its gain medium. The first working laser was a ruby laser made by Theodore H. "Ted" Maiman at Hughes Research Laboratories on May 16, 1960. [1] [2] Ruby lasers produce pulses of coherent visible light at a wavelength of 694.3 nm, which is a deep red color.

9. Electro-optic modulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-optic_modulator

   The beam splitter divides the laser light into two paths, one of which has a phase modulator as described above. The beams are then recombined. Changing the electric field on the phase modulating path will then determine whether the two beams interfere constructively or destructively at the output, and thereby control the amplitude or intensity ...
