Ok off the wall here but just pondering. Say you are stuck in the woods for who knows what reason (come on! its hypothetical) and you have a fairly powerful portable laser plus a solar charger. Think 200mw+ in a fairly visible wavelength. An easy use is as a signal flare, scaring away predators, lighting a camp fire (With your eyes blocked by an opaque object).
If you have a clear glass container can you use a laser for water purification? (Again, eyes blocked / closed) I don't mean boiling or distilling, just nuking the living organisms so you don't lose more water than you take in due to diarrhea. If so, how low of a power can sanitize water if any?
What other survival uses are there?
