In 2014, the US Navy installed its first prototype SSL (solid state laser) capable of countering surface craft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on a Navy ship. The Navy since then has been ...

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have developed a solid-state deep ultraviolet (DUV) laser that emits 193nm light in lab conditions—a wavelength critical for semiconductor ...

Deep ultraviolet (DUV) lasers, known for their high photon energy and short wavelengths, are essential in various fields such as semiconductor lithography, high-resolution spectroscopy, precision ...

The military wants ‘tens to hundreds’ of laser weapons. After years of prototypes, the real challenge is scaling production.

This report provides background information and issues for Congress on shipboard solid state lasers (SSLs) that the Navy is developing for surface-ship self-defense. The Navy’s proposed FY2025 budget ...
