We might be able to use that process to essentially project a 100mw Laser beam. We had to have a specially designed laser system to ensure that we would get that coherence. Now we're using a pulsed laser and a very fast gated sensor that can turn on at the appropriate time.

Allowing the sensors to measure divergent high power lasers, such as diode laser bars, as well as collimated beams. The effect was of little practical value until the invention of the laser. Instead of a single laser beam, the researchers combine two beams at a specific frequency and angle.
