It heats up one side of the debris to shift its orbit trajectory ...
A copper vapor laser ( CVL) uses vapors of copper as the lasing medium in a 4-level laser. [1] It produces green laser light at 510.6 nm and yellow laser light at 578.2 nm. The pulse width is typically from 5 to 60 ns, and peak power from 50 to 5000 kW. Its pulse repetition frequencies can be 2 to 100 kHz.
