32Directed-energy weapon — This article is about practical experiments with energy weapons. For fictional uses, see raygun. Humvee with Active Denial System mounted A directed energy weapon (DEW) emits energy in an aimed direction without the means of a projectile. It… …
33Nova laser — Nova was a high power laser built at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in 1984 which conducted advanced inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments until its dismantling in 1999. Nova was the first ICF experiment built with the… …
34Nova (laser) — View down Nova s laser bay between two banks of beamlines. The blue boxes contain the amplifiers and their flashtube pumps , the tubes between the banks of amplifiers are the spatial filters. Nova was a high power laser built at the Lawrence… …
35Directed Energy Weapon — Als Energiewaffen (engl. Directed Energy Weapons oder DEW) bezeichnet man eine neue Generation von Waffensystemen, die mit gebündelter Energie militärische Ziele vertreiben, paralysieren, schädigen oder vernichten sollen. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1… …
36Laser engraving — is the practice of using lasers to engrave or mark an object. The technique can be very technical and complex, and often a computer system is used to drive the movements of the laser head. Despite this complexity, very precise and clean… …
37ZEUS-HLONS (HMMWV Laser Ordnance Neutralization System) — The HLONS (HMMWV Laser Ordnance Neutralization System), commonly known as ZEUS, was developed for surface land mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) neutralization. The ZEUS HLONS system was a co operative effort between [http://www.sparta.com/… …
38Laser ablation — is the process of removing material from a solid (or occasionally liquid) surface by irradiating it with a laser beam. At low laser flux, the material is heated by the absorbed laser energy and evaporates or sublimates. At high laser flux, the… …
39Advanced Tactical Laser — The Advanced Tactical Laser (ATL) program is a US military program to mount a high energy laser damage weapon on an aircraft, initially the AC 130 gunship, for use against ground targets in urban or other areas where minimizing collateral damage… …
40Laser pumping — is the act of energy transfer from an external source into the gain medium of a laser. The energy is absorbed in the medium, producing excited states in its atoms. When the number of particles in one excited state exceeds the number of particles… …
