Apache Airborne Laser Pointer Test Successfully Destroyed Ground Targets

Raytheon recently issued a statement saying that the US Army ’s Apache Project Management Office and Raytheon, in conjunction with the US Special Operations Command, successfully completed the test of the high-energy laser pointer system installed on the AH-64 Apache helicopter. As the US Department of Defense seeks to use lower-cost solutions instead of using expensive missiles…

Researchers Build The World’s Smallest Linewidth Laser

Researchers from the German Federal Institute of Physics and Technology (PTB), the United Joint Astrophysics Laboratory (JILA), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology created two independent lasers, each with its own silicon Fabry-Perot Luo cavity, laser pointer line width is only 0.01Hz. This is a world record, much smaller than the usual linewidth of kilohertz…
