IBTimes: Chinese Military Developing Portable Lasers? Enemy Missiles, Satellites Could Be Disabled By Sophisticated Device

The Chinese military could soon have the ability to disable heat-seeking sensors on enemy missiles or satellites using breakthrough portable-laser technology. The laser generator, which produces a high-frequency beam rendering infrared missiles useless, is typically massive in size and found on warships. But a research team in Beijing at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Physics said it has reduced the sophisticated device down to a single piece of crystal, according to South China Morning Post.

"This is a groundbreaking achievement," Liu Qiang, a professor of laser optics at Beijing’s Tsinghua University, told the Hong Kong newspaper. "Nobody has generated a laser at such a high frequency on a single piece of crystal before.”

WNU Editor: The Chinese are getting better every year at developing new technologies. It would not surprise me if in the future we will start to hear stories of the West copying (or stealing) Chinese tech instead of the other way around.
