Laser weapons use
I think with the recent improvements in laser diode efficiency there's a real possibility that some war monger is going to develop a field weapon that is quite capable of blinding ground personnel at sniper range. For example Jenoptic now can provide fiber coupled laser diodes at 100 watts . If you pulse these lasers you can push them to 200 watts. If you make a DPSS laser with a high speed Q-Switch your talking serious pulsed power levels at kilometer ranges. All of this could be made portable using a 40 lbs pack today in my opinion.
I'm sure the US military, China, Korea, Russia, India, Pakistan, Isreal are all playing with those dangerous toys
What are your opinions.
