What's Wrong With This Picture?
The laser in this picture is a fake.
From Wikipedia:
A military scientist operates a laser in a test environment. The United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Directed Energy Directorate conducts research on a variety of solid-state and chemical lasers.
Most chemical and solid state lasers used in military research are not that color. In fact, most of them are completely invisible. Yep. The mega-powerful Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser (COIL) is 1.315 microns, and the solid-state Nd:YAG (Neodymium Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) laser is 1.064 microns. Humans can only see light between 0.390 to 0.700 microns.
The laser in this photo looks like a standard turquoise night club laser, otherwise known as cyan, which is made by mixing equal parts blue and green laser light. Not something you'll be able to blow anything up with. Except maybe the dance floor.
