minus-squareqjkxbmwvz@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 hours agoMy comment from cross post: Sounds like it was a 2 petawatt pulsed laser, with picosecond pulses, so 2kJ/pulse. Staggering amount of power and energy for a pulsed laser! Note that it’s not CW, so the average power will be much, much, much less than the pulsed power. Too lazy to find the rep rate to see average power.
