A few years back now, the military finally began full testing and prototyping of a Gadolinium Gallium Garnet - Neodymium Doped (GGG(Nd)) LASER.

It is one of the only laser crystals that has output deep into the IR spectrum and beyond, and is therefore capable of far more powerful burning and destructive capability than any other publicly known LASER crystal type.
