Lasers (RU)

A laser is a illuminating device that emits electromagnetic radiation through a process called stimulated emission. The term "laser" is actually an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Laser light is almost always spatially coherent, which means that the light is either emitted in a narrow, low-divergence beam, or can be converted into one with help from optical components, such as lenses. Usually, lasers are thought of as emitting light with a narrow wavelength spectrum ("monochromatic" light).

==Russian Weapons Grade Lasers (RWGL)= Plasma weapons use an ion fuel cell to power an electromagnetic accelerator that fires a pulse or toroid of plasma (i.e. very hot, energetic excited matter). The primary damage mechanism of these weapons is usually primarily thermal transfer; since is so extremely hot it typically causes serious burns, and often immediate death, on living creatures, and melts or even boils other materials. Plasma weapons may also have a significant kinetic energy component, that is to say the ionized material is projected with sufficient momentum to cause some secondary impact damage in addition to causing high thermal damage. These plasma systems are used in the PADV1 droids and most recently in Russian and Cascadian space battleships, and cruisers which are designed to shoot down down space fighters trying to assault a battleship.

LCDS Defense
Laser Cannon Defense Systems was invented by Russia in 2009. The LCDS defense system was a plan to create a system, primarily using laser cannons, to destroy incoming nuclear or fusion weapons. With the development of weapons grade lasers by Russia in 2009 (after Everett in 2007) came a new invention: The LCDS defense weapon. The first laser turret was built and installed at the top of the Ostankino Tower. It was tested against an unarmed missile. The fully automatic laser turret brought down the incoming missile in just a couple seconds. With the successful test complete, LCDS stations began construction across Russia to defend the nation from fusion weapon attack. Other nations such as Britain and Cascadia are researching laser technology and sending up their first defense weapons.
