10W would be great for a show but most DPSS above half a watt can't modulate for crap. Can barely get a nice fade in my experience even with tuning. I'd love to get my hands on a 7kW 100W, maybe he's building something a little similar to what Lee laser does.
Thread needs more laser porn: how 'bout 130W QCW ns regime, only a piddly 4uJ but millions of them, divergence is better than a Taipan when your optics aren't thermal lensing, the down side is 1KHz modulation and it's only green
for now. Next week will be finding out if it'll eat scanner mirrors too...
