The Air Force is in the market for upgrades to its counter-drone technologies, according to an Oct. 16 request for information posted on a federal contracting website.
The service is in the early stages of deploying lasers, microwaves, and other weapons more advanced than a shotgun to deal with potentially threatening drones loitering around bases. In particular, the RFI is looking for ideas to fend off the smallest unmanned aerial systems like quadcopters.
On May 16, 1960, American physicist Theodore Maiman presents the world's first operating laser at Hughes Research Laboratories, Malibu, California. Today, lasers are present everywhere, ranging from common consumer devices such as DVD players, laser printers, and barcode scanners to professional laser devices for surgery and various other skin treatments, or in industry for cutting and welding materials. Actually, it was Albert Einstein, who has laid the theoretical foundations for the laser in his 1917 paper Zur Quantentheorie der Strahlung (On the Quantum Theory of Radiation).
Rangkaian Laser memang sangat berguna untuk keamanan lingkungan. Seperti kita ketahui jika menjaga keamanan lingkungan adalah kewajiban setiap warga. Setiap

Por enquanto o AirBorne Laser será usado para destruir mísseis balísticos, mas em breve será usado pela U. S. Air Force para destruir mísseis, aviões e helicópteros. Como o alcance do LASER é de centenas de Km, o AirBorne Laser poderá ficar bem l
Optics InfoBase is the Optical Society's online library for flagship journals, partnered and copublished journals, and recent proceedings from OSA conferences.
Optics and Photonics Journal (OPJ) is an international, specialized, English-language journal devoted to publication of original contributions in all areas of optics and photonics. The Journal disseminates new results in the theory, design, applications, fabrication, performance and characterization of optics and photonics materials including bio-related functions such as bio-optics, bio-photonics and also optoelectronics. The journal is also devoted to challenging and innovating methods and techniques related to the development of optics and photonics materials, characterization and applications. It is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal describing scientific and technological advances that cover the basic sciences, engineering aspects and applied technology.
