Ok, I was given the idea for this from my radon lasers thread. In it I mentioned the possibility of using radon (or even cyanide), as a lasing medium. Now in this thread I am looking for ideas on the most deadly laser MEDIUM, not high output; MEDIUM. So post your ideas and if you know, what colour the laser would be then post that to.
So, post any ideas and I hope we can find some deadly laser mediums!:eg:

Water. First post, I win, done. Easily kills more people then any other toxin on the planet.
Mods you can close the thread now. :na:

Considering two thirds of the periodic table has lased in one form or another in a lab in the past, your point is? A general rule is, if you push some thing hard enough or vaporize it and push it hard enough, eventually it will lase.

Perhaps you would better define what the definition of laser is, in this case!

Also how it kills you? Instantly lethal, or it takes a while for you to die?

As in actually documented in literature to lase. I have huge multi-volume book sets of what works, with references. We could be here typing for weeks, the gas book is at least 350 pages.

Indeed!

Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division - dihydrogen monoxide info

Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:


* Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
* Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
* Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
* DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
* Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
* Contributes to soil erosion.
* Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
* Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
* Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
* Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
* Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.
* Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere, and in hurricanes including deadly storms in Florida, New Orleans and other areas of the southeastern U.S.
* Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.


Peace,

^ Oh, come on, Dave ..... it's not so bad ..... water is not so dangerous for life, if assumed moderately (i don't remember exactly who said it, but was an alcoholic beverages estimator :p :D)

About the OP question ..... well, it depend from the lasing energy, but .....

Plutonium is not bad .....

Dioxine is also better .....

Botulin toxine (not the bacteria, the neural toxine that they produce ..... like, 50 or 60 nanograms, and you're dead, and a nanogram is a very very very little quantity :p) .....

And, last but not least (*wearing bulletproof jacket and hiding in an antinuclear bunker*) ..... *COUGH*women*COUGH* (if you can make them lase or not, anyway, is still matter of study ..... :p :na:)

Also known as Botox.

I think it might be, as said a dioxin or possibly but less likely ricin. And of course you could make a woman lase, just vaporise her:crackup:

Perhaps you could you some sort of thermonuclear device for the vapourisation...

I don't remember off hand, but the output was not TEM00. I'm sure it had multiple primary and secondary harmonics. I'll seem if some of My buddies from back in the day recall what the primary was.

Ha, that's funny.
One of my old chemistry profesors set up a booth on campus as a joke telling everyone to ban DHMO, he got a ton of people to bite on that one.

I was warned the gas of selenium was highly dangerous, when I made a metal-vapor laser for a H.S. project. -GH
