"The trouble with a laser system is cycling the capacitor bank quickly enough...and heating." Think of a pulsed CO2 laser system configured like a mini-gun (i.e. with separate laser tubes and with capacitor banks for each "barrel"/tube). Desired rate of fire optimized by number of tubes to take care of the capacitor recharge/heating difficulties.
Even a chemist has to know that photons are "subject to gravity".... ;^)

I have been there when a room full of caps were able to deliver a microsecond pulse as great as the power consumption of the entire country. Lots of heavy silver wiring, spark gap system since no solid state switch could come close :-) POP! it was able to crush oil drums into a crumpled mess of metal.
Chemists, they are intense ;-)
