HEY DRAKE--Yes, an N2 laser actually exist in a lightning storm. I actually had a fully working N2 laser (one of the first ever built (early '70's). It's value: $250,000.00 dollars. I got it from a lab, whose manager sold it to me because it hadn't worked in a couple of decades--price:$250!!! It took a truck to haul it to my lab--when I saw it I couldn't believe my eyes--It was the one from an old "OPTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA" article which I had for years-this was the actual laser the article was based on! WOW!! There was no expense spared in building this thing! EVERYTHING gad safety features--it was 100% idiot-proof. I finally traced the problem down to a burned out thyratron. I verified this, by using a simple (LOUD) spark-gap to fire it. I finally got a replacement thyratron for cheap on ebay. Freaky: the silence of a N2 precision laser fired, rapid-pulse this way! Unfortunately, (Here in Louisiana), the flood of 2016 got it!!! But just the head--not the huge control box (which split a very strong table in half after resting on it a while. I pumped it down to optimal pressure and let a tank of pure N2 flow as it fired---amazing--things started glowing everywhere--I also used ordinary air at atmospheric (no) pumped pressure and got what most people see in a "N2 laser". You could control everything you could think of. No fixed voltages--these designers just stuck in huge variacs instead of transformer taps, etc., etc. It is packed in storage now--but I plan to unwrap it at a new location and FIX it! BTW: For the usual laser (which is actually an optical oscillator rather than an amplifier) would actually have the acronym LOSER, but who would ever name this wonderful device a "loser"? However, the N2 laser is in reality, NOT an oscillator (as you mention) but an actual amplifier, so, as far as I know this is the only superradiant device that can be accurately called a 'LASER'. The active medium in this thing is a bit over a meter long! AND it actually has ONE mirror at the inner tube end--it makes two trips through what must be cool flowing N2 at this scale before emerging as a multi-mega-watt beam (....don't know the exact specs), but, as you stated, the energy J=W/s is quite low (mJ range, due to the tiny "s" in W/s)--it's the incredible speed that fires the MW's. BTY: I bet you would love playing around with thyratons.

Many industrial CO2 laser is already over 2 meters long. Even low power CO2 laser cutter uses tubes of at least 1.2 meters long. And by the way if you want to build lasers to burn stuff why not use CO2 lasers? they're practically designed for it. But it's weird I never see any videos about CO2 lasers from this user. I know it's not exactly hand held (as the glass tube is fragile, and requires cooling water, etc.) but it's not beyond the user's skill to mess with as he already messes with high voltage.

Amazing stuff.

You should try to make an electro laser. You form something called a laser induced plasma channel by having a super high intensity laser beam. Even a relatively weak laser can do this. This plasma channel can conduct electricity. If you do something similar with your spark gap thing you can run a current down the channel and it's like a tiny lightening gun. If you use two beams and have one a ground and the other the side that sparks, you can make a directed lightening strike. If you lower the power output of the zapping part you might get a taser laser.

How can you verify that it's really lasing as opposed to just emitting light, or perhaps some UV (if you get fluorescence of things nearby)?

Do you have a recommended contact at the optic manufacture I need to find a source for several optics and crystals

could you combine the output of 5 of these lasers to create a (probably very unstable) continuous mode laser?

1: How do you know that the laser is oriented in the direction, and not in a completely wrong direction? 2: Could with work with a Piezoelectric Igniter?
