Checkout this interesting article in the May edition of Laser Focus World. It talks about military development of 100 KW diode pumped solid state ND-YAG lasers for portable battlefield use.Coming to a test site in 2008.
See " http://www.lfw-digital.com/lfw/200705/?folio=72 "
You don't want to catch the strayest reflection from one of those Lasers.
Enjoy
