How do lasers work directly as an energy weapon?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Laser stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.

in lasers there is a high beam of photons which is possible due to the magnification of amplitude by multifold times .

laser server very small circular aperture and hence all the energy can be concentrated to a very sharp point or area .

When such a large amount of energy is concentrated on to a small region, it acts as a energy weapon

8. How do mirrors for most lasers achieve high (>95%) reflectivity not possible with simple metal coatings alone? Describe the structure of these mirrors (include a diagram showing the "stack" of multiple layers used) and describe, in a paragraph, how dielectric mirrors (also called "dichroic" mirrors) work. Be sure to detail the principles of operation, the thickness of the layers, and why that thickness is a critical parameter.

How would the global risk calculus of individuals, organizations, and governments shift if a weapon of mass destruction were detonated in a heavily populated city? The likelihood of such an event is high according to experts around the globe. Would such an event promote closer cooperation between countries in fighting the spread of WMDs or would it drive countries further apart and back within their sovereign borders?
