The Nike laser at the United States Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC is a 56-beam, 4–5 kJ per pulse electron beam pumped krypton fluoride excimer laser which operates in the ultraviolet at 248 nm with pulsewidths of a few nanoseconds. Nike was completed in the late 1980s and is used for investigations into inertial confinement ...
The Laser Plasma Branch of the Naval Research Laboratory completed a KrF laser called the Nike laser that can produce about 4.5 × 10 3 joules of UV energy output in a 4 nanosecond pulse. The NIKE laser was switched to an Argon fluoride laser after 2013 to show the impact of going to shorter (193 nm) wavelengths.
Laser types with distinct laser lines are shown above the wavelength bar, while below are shown lasers that can emit in a wavelength range. The height of the lines and bars gives an indication of the maximal power/pulse energy commercially available, while the color codifies the type of laser material (see the figure description for details).
Under the new curriculum, students would have to learn statistics in mathematics, while the Extension 1 and 2 topics would be replaced with an easier specialist maths course. [11] Patty said that the English courses would focus more on language and literacy, and less on literature, and that the curriculum would disadvantage gifted students. [11]
The U.S. Congress passed a resolution celebrating the invention of the laser and citing Maiman. [46] Also in 2010 Maiman's laser achievement was recognized as an IEEE Milestone, [42] and the American Physical Society presented Hughes Research Laboratories with a plaque to commemorate the historic site of the world's first laser.

Diagram of a simple VCSEL structure. The vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL / ˈ v ɪ k s əl /) is a type of semiconductor laser diode with laser beam emission perpendicular from the top surface, contrary to conventional edge-emitting semiconductor lasers (also called in-plane lasers) which emit from surfaces formed by cleaving the individual chip out of a wafer.
Laser Physics is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on the physics and technology of lasers and their applications. It is owned and editorially managed by Astro Ltd. and published on their behalf by IOP Publishing .
The YAL-1 with a low-power laser was test-fired in flight at an airborne target in 2007. [2] A high-energy laser was used to intercept a test target in January 2010, [3] and the following month, successfully destroyed two test missiles. [4] Funding for the program was cut in 2010 and the program was canceled in December 2011. [5]
