2. Blue laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_laser

   A blue laser emits electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 400 and 500 nanometers, which the human eye sees in the visible spectrum as blue or violet. [1] Blue lasers can be produced by: direct, inorganic diode semiconductor lasers based on quantum wells of gallium (III) nitride at 380-417nm [2] [3] or indium gallium nitride at 450 ...

3. Directed-energy weapon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed-energy_weapon

   A directed-energy weapon ( DEW) is a ranged weapon that damages its target with highly focused energy without a solid projectile, including lasers, microwaves, particle beams, and sound beams. Potential applications of this technology include weapons that target personnel, missiles, vehicles, and optical devices. [1] [2]

   Laser pointer. Red (635 nm), blueish violet (445 nm), and green (520 nm) laser pointers. A laser pointer or laser pen is a (typically battery-powered) handheld device that uses a laser diode to emit a narrow low-power visible laser beam (i.e. coherent light) to highlight something of interest with a small bright colored spot.

6. Mosquito laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquito_laser

   A mosquito laser is a proposed device that would use lasers to kill mosquitoes. The primary goal would be to reduce malaria infection rates. In 2007, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation asked Intellectual Ventures to find a way to fight and eventually end malaria. [1] There, astrophysicist Lowell Wood had the idea to use lasers. [1]

7. Blaster (Star Wars) - Wikipedia
