"It's a chemical laser but in solid, not gaseous, form. Put simply, in deference to you, Kent, it's like lasing a stick of dynamite. As soon as we apply a field, we couple to a state that is radiatively coupled to the ground state. I figure we can extract at least ten to the twenty-first photons per cubic centimeter which will give one kilojoule per cubic centimeter at 600 nanometers, or, one megajoule per liter."

Can you imagine the first time someone on the ground shines a laser in this pilots eyes,
return "Fire".

Am I the only one who wondered if this thing wouldn't burn the crap outta some ants?
