Lockheed Martin Demonstrates Weapons Grade High Power Fiber Laser
Posted on
DefenceTalkLockheed Martin has demonstrated a 30-kilowatt electric fiber laser, the highest power ever documented while retaining beam quality and electrical efficiency. The internally funded research and development program culminated in this demonstration, which was achieved by combining many fiber lasers into a single, near-perfect quality beam of light—all while using approximately 50 percent less electricity […]https://www.defencetalk.com/lockheed-martin-demonstrates-weapons-grade-high-power-fiber-laser-50189/
