EDITORIAL
(Re)introducing the Photonics Spectra Reference Chart
Anyone remember the year 1986? The average price for a gallon of gas in the U.S. was 89 cents. Lionel Richie topped the year-end Billboard charts with his song, “Say You, Say Me.” You could buy a Tandy 600 portable computer — with a CPU clocking in at 3.07 MHz and 32 kB of RAM coming standard — for only $1500. And the 1986 Nobel Prize in physics was divided between the...
LASERS IN USE
Safety at 300 kW: Considerations for Laser Weapons Designers
Use of any laser technology requires special safety considerations. But the continuous-wave laser systems designed to output beam powers between 60 and 500 kW — primarily for defense applications — belong in a category of their own. These systems, which could be termed Class 5 or 4L (“L” for lethal), require additional physical considerations and controls for the space in which they are developed...
