Japan has developed the most powerful laser in the world – KM.RU

The scientists from Osaka University was established in the world’s most powerful laser radiation beam which has a capacity of 2 petawatts.

The invention named LFEX (Laser for Fast Ignition Experiments). As reported at the university, its length is about 92 meters.

The developers note that, for all its power laser requires so much energy to work. He consumes several hundred joules (about the same uses microwave), and a huge power is achieved due to the small amount of time of its generation.

In essence, the power – the energy expended for a while. The laser generates a beam length of 2 picoseconds and therefore output turns giant. Provides this through a series of glass “lamps”, working as an amplifier laser flow.

It should be noted that the researchers decided not to rest on our laurels and we intend in the future to create a laser power of 10 petawatts.
