I wonder what wavelength it is. 808nm? I couldn't find a mention on the page.
I wondered the same thing. Maybe 1024nm?
here's Boeing's version:

808nm would show up better on NV goggles, at least. I wonder if 1024 would.. I just have no idea.
Where's our resident weaponized laser expert?
I like how the alignment beam is 100 watts.

Might be a little on the well done side though!
clicking on my avatar will show the tricolor photocoagulator resonator cavity from a Lumenis Varia eye surgery medical laser, which i am attempting to refit. It originally was designed to produce 50-1500mw of 532 / 50-600mw of 659nm / 50-600mw of 561nm (Yellow)
Clicking on my Avatar will show a picture of the inside of this cavity with a 1cm bar diode in the first of 3 OEM postions & KTP holder.
