0091: Directed Energy: Into the Battlefield and Out of this World — With Martin Richardson (4/1/2025)

Martin Richardson, director of the University of Central Florida’s Center for Directed Energy, joins us to discuss the progression of directed energy technology, from historic uses to its emergence in today’s battlefields, and where we might see it in the future. The conversation covers the multidisciplinary nature of the technology, its challenges, and potential use cases beyond the battlefield, and beyond the planet.

"All Things Photonics"^® is produced by Photonics Media and airs biweekly, on Tuesdays.
