What Google (or anyone else) doesn't tell you: this tech enables you to shoot down a hypersonic missile ~without aiming~. IF you can pick up a radar return, you can shoot down any, every, and [ALL missiles] 99% 100% of the time.
From Google ⬇️ "A pumped phase conjugate mirror (PCM) is a device that can improve the quality of laser beams. It works by reversing the phase of an optical beam relative to a reference beam. This process is also known as optical phase conjugation, time reversal, or wavefront reversal."
Google says lasers because that's all anyone thinks about when they think of directed energy.
This device would look more like a flat gray panel. A phase conjugate mirror works basically the opposite of a mirror in that the received radar return is reflected exactly back to its source in a "time reversed" manner.
No aiming is required and missing the target is fundamentally impossible. To the observer the device would seem to be doing nothing at all. Like the flat radar panel but much more special. This technology is the real reason for the obsession with stealth technology.
If a radar can see you, a PCM can hit you and there is no counter measure, unless... you make the skin of your aircraft itself a phase conjugate mirror. But then the problem/question becomes… What wavelength do you design your PCM skin for as a defense?
He was (as several others) way ahead of his time.
I'll have to review some quantum electrodynamics and a shiesload of advanced math, but pretty sure I'm starting to understand the base concept. Now, back to saving the Republic.
Sorry, but you are spouting nonsense. The only thing that acts like you are describing is a corner-cube reflector, but it will only be reflecting the incident energy, without any focusing. No "time reversal" of the waveform; the leading edge of the wave will still be the leading edge. You can make a phased-array radar act this way, but that will only be radar responding to returns off a target. Phasing the wavefront is "aiming." Radars do not have the power for physical effects on target.
*Friends, u/killerspacerobot is a shining example of a shill. His comment history illustrates it.
Does nothing but sow division, argue, and label as 'nonsense' things that are easily verifiable. I've never seen a comment by you being positive, uplifting, encouraging, or generally contributing to the well-being and high vibes of GAW. Why are you even here?
This has nothing to do with you disagreeing with me (ask around, I like it) but everything to do with the reliable friction you bring to 8/10+ comments you make. Your comment history alone has more total down votes than likes which illustrates your malcontent nature.
The reason why I'm calling you out as a shill u/killerspacerobot is because it's NOT possible for anyone to be this stupid naturally.
I would say you're a bot but that would be insulting bots bc even bots read the comments clearly and comprehend the message.
You can't make a shill understand something when their paycheck depends on them not understanding it.
This is evidence that Google provides bullshit. Most of this citation is mumbo-jumbo. There is optical wavefront control, but this is effected by controlled distortion of a key mirror in the optical train. The only system physically capable of making such an intercept was YAL-1A, and it was canceled, decommissioned, and scrapped by President Obama in 2012-2014. Radar is inadequate for laser targeting. There is no "time reversal." Since I have been working in this technology since the 70s, and specifically with YAL-1A, I am simply repeating facts.

Necessary? For God and Country, it's necessary.
Think deeply friends. Will be your choice 'to know' this.
Anything to do with dual element lasers? Or are we talking about the Bear den work on graviometrics? Keeping terminology cagey for a reason.
Bear den yes

"If you can see a target through a rifle scope within range, you could hit it."
Does this mean I'm saying 'the rifle scope is the weapon'?
Did I say the radar was the weapon?
Or did I say if you can get a radar return, a PCM weapon system can take it out?

Well done John! 👏 Thank you!
