I wonder what these kinds of huge gains in laser technology might mean for fusion and beamed energy rocket propulsion?

- delucain 12y agoNot much for now, I don't think. They haven't improved on the intensity or accuracy of lasers in general, just the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of them. Large scale experimental projects like you mentioned don't generally care about efficiency as much as intensity and accuracy. When fusion becomes mainstream it might matter.
