What Does NPL Stand For?
NPL stands for Nuclear Pumped Laser
NPL, or Nuclear Pumped Laser, refers to a type of laser technology that utilizes the energy released from nuclear reactions to excite a gain medium, typically a gas or a solid-state material. This process allows for the amplification of light, producing high-intensity laser beams. NPLs are of interest for various applications, including military uses, remote sensing, and advanced scientific research, due to their potential for generating high-power outputs in compact systems.
