OMG!!! 100.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 W per square cm!!!!! :-X
Thats one hundred thousand billion billion Watts!!!!

It could probably light a match thats sitting behind it if the beam could travel in a circle around the world....

aw... "femtosecond and attosecond" the pulses of that will only last that long so i bet the average power would only be like 500watts

...lazer... ;D ;D ;D

Actually if you would be measuring it for a period of at least 1 minute , it would give about a 1500W average power.I would still think that the pulse would be enough to blow the head of a match ;D
