(Phys.org)—When it comes to applications like standoff sensing—using lasers to detect gas, explosives, or other materials from a safe distance—the laser's strength is of the utmost importance. A stronger and purer beam means devices can sense danger more accurately from a greater distance, which translates into safer workers, soldiers, and police officers.
