An Etymological Dictionary of Astronomy and Astrophysics

A laser beam with the output power in the range 10¹²-10¹⁵
watts/cm², capable of depositing kilo-joule order energies during nano-second time intervals in small volumes (about 1 mm³). High power lasers, which can produce temperatures of 10-50 million degrees and pressures of 10-100 million bars, are used to simulate astrophysical conditions in laboratories.

Etymology (EN): → high; → power;, → laser.

Etymology (PE): leyzer, → laser; por “much, many, full,” → full; tavân, → power.
