M.D.A. has made a new high powered, solid-state laser system that will be used to help soldiers and protection against missile attacks. This laser system can be used to neutralize motor rounds, missiles, and even land minds. M.D.A. is trying to make it light and easy to cool down quicker. They will be trying to outfit it to be put on heavy or even light vehicles that go into combat. A solid-state laser is a cleaner laser system than the chemical lasers that have been used before. But it is challenging to be able to cool the laser down and keep it light. It will soon be in the field and here to help protect us. This will also be adapted to be used in medicine, telecommunications, and microchip manufacturing. This will be employing special metallization process and microchannel etching techniques to make the diode pumps cool and are required to make the laser work. A diode pump is what makes the beam, and that is the part that is needed to be kept cool in order to work. The power of the laser is determined by how well it is cooled. How do they plan on keeping it cool and light? That is what I'm going to tell you in my next post.

Its crazy that we can use all this things to help us, you should change your font color its hard to read. What is the lazer made up off and can it harm the human skin?
