Lasers and their problems, and the virtualization of lasers.

The problems with high-power laser weapons are the heating of the element of the laser. The most powerful laser-types like carbon monoxide-lasers give their power to the infra-red frequency, and that is the reason, why those lasers are so powerful, but in the real life the high power laser needs powerful lights, to produce the laser-ray in the tube.


And this is the reason, why the making of compact and powerful lasers is so difficult. In the airplanes, the problem has been solved, by conducting the air inside the laser space, and also use of the LED-lights decrease the production of the heat inside the laser-element. Also, the use of artificial diamonds in those weapons is given the change to produce very high power compact lasers.


The artificial diamond is actually the carbon crystal, what will grow in the pressure-chamber, what involves the conditions, where the diamonds are forming. The most powerful lasers are the size of the kilometer, and they are used in the fusion experiments. There have been made tests where the very powerful lasers are in the fixed position on earth, and the rays were targeted by the mirrors in the orbiter.

The lasers have put in the form of X, and in the end of the laser is the mirror, what looks the little bit like small telescopes. Those mirrors can all turn 90 degrees and that will give the system 360 degrees coverage. Those lasers are very dangerous because those rays can be conducted to the targets by the mirror satellites, what stands the only couple of seconds. But this system might be killed any target on earth with very sharply, and the laser can be used against any warship or another target on earth.


But there is another way to produce very powerful lasers, by using conventional laser systems. This methodology is based, that in the middle of the laser group is one more powerful laser than the sides of it, and when the laser will start to work, the laser what is middle of the group creates the laser-ray, what is synchronized with another laser, that they have exactly same frequency than this the most powerful laser of the group has.


Then those side-lasers will be pumped the extra energy in that lead ray, what increases the power of the laser weapon. This means the virtualization of the lasers and this allows to use of the more less powerful systems like MIRACL (Mid-InfraRed Chemical Laser) to create very powerful ray. Those systems are tested in  Radužnyi ("Vladimir 30") laser test range in Russia.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

   "This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things.  That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

  "An illustration of NASA’s research plane ER-2 flying over thunderstorms. Credit: University of Bergen / Mount Visual (CC BY 4.0), edited" (ScitechDaily, Surprising Discovery: NASA’s Retrofitted U2 Spy Plane Reveals Tropical Lightning Storms Are Radioactive) The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries.  "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th
