Sensing thick sarcasm, but I'll enjoy my cookie none the less

What kind? I accept chocolate chip only.

That is fine, I am just hoping we can have a good conversation on physics topics ! This forum is slacking on physics buffs, and even shorter on physics majors, which I wouldnt have guessed at first, but alas here we are.

General understanding of grammar will help get your point across, if English isnt your main language that is understandable. Welcome to the forums! Also, id be interested in any conversations regarding your physics knowledge, quantum mechanics in particular. You'll need to spell a bit better...

Okay so I did some more research to learn more about population inversion, more specifically though a more precise understanding of the difference between stimulated and spontaneous emission.. I've answered my own queston with the help of LPF. Thanks ! It's interesting to me the field...

If I'm not self aware then I can't make a subjective assessment of my own discomfort and level of pain, so how can that be bad? Also incubaton is 2 to 22 days, true, but the majority of cases show symptoms well before the 7 day mark, let alone 22 days. Not a super long time IMO, but for the...

Well its definitely one of the most frightening ways I could think to die..

That's gave me a good laugh, thanks:)

Dude, excessive perhaps? Do you realize how difficult it is to contract ebola? You literally nzed direct fluid contact, which no one in their right mind would initiate with an infected person. Symptoms show quickly, not much risk of a sleeper infection occuring.

Yes. You can ESTIMATE power by relative luminosity, burning capabilities, etc. This will be a very crude estimate, your laser will be 100mw or so but could vary wildly, and a good % of that will be IR leakage... 532nm Lasers cost a dollar per mw on average... (talking high powered 532, not...

The 470-630nm range is particularly expensive it seems.

Looked almost like they were sitting on the garage floor. The long exposure pond shot is beautiful too man, I want to get into photography !

Beautiful photos very well done, what's the wavy reflection surface below the beams? Makes a very neat effect. Also nice matching set, I still want my rgbv matching set. My dream would be all 1w+ RGBV, could make some very nice photos then

Thanks that's the bottom line I needed! Obviously I never heard that old saying lol

1.6w of 532 would cost a thousand or more easy

I will have to agree from first hand experience, viruses can be cured, by entirely oral medication regimens aswell. Rather naive to think they couldn't be.. Hepatitis C is not an isolated example.

To reiterate, THEORETICALLY, not including feasibility or efficiency, any element can be made to lase within its spectral signature, correct? I FULLY understand the issues complicating this and why it may be practically impossible, this is a thought experiment of mine, nothing more. Edit...

My last post was incorrect, I checked the video I made of the lasers performance and my duty cycle was 3 minutes 12 seconds, minutes, not 5. And watching the video again the last 30 Seconds showed mode hopping on camera . The power fluxuation was so negligible that I didn't notice in the lit...

Your last point I'm much aware of, but you know better then I do surely that lasers are finding new applications in new fields daily. Your first two answers were concise and exactly the type of answer I was looking for. You confirmed what I suspsected. These are the reasons I felt; without...

This is not as newb of a question as the title would make it seem. The temporally and spatially coherent light we get from our lasers are a product of excited crystals (or gas, dye, etc) trying their damndest to stay in their happy ground state. We all know the basics of electromagnetism or the...
