Lasers, what do you guys think?
They have their uses.
Did you have something bit more specific in mind?

What makes light wavelength Gaussian.
Why isn't it just one wavelength
>>995844
No I guess not. Just thought it be fun. I was just happy to find a awesome guide that explains how to build them. Here's where I'd start: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/lasercon.htm#contoc
>>995845
Temperatures > 0K and zero-point energy. /sci/ could tell you more.
>>995852
Doesn't help though
>>995849
Nitrogen laser using air is one of the easiest to build, if you happen to have a suitable high-voltage supply available.
Or at least I got mine working easily, but apparently they can be difficult to set up.

The shark needs quite a bit of upkeep.
>>995842
would it be possible to hook up a laser diode with high temperature tolerance and a cooling system to a bunch of large capacitors to create a very fast, high energy burst?

no fuck off
