New laser applications can offer protection against the EMP and make quantum networks closer than ever before.

The new systems can transform optical waves into microwaves and the opposite. The nano-size system that can transform radio transmission into optical waves can make it possible to create new, ultra-small robots. 

Researchers developed a quantum translator that can transform microwaves into optical signals, and the opposite.  That kind of translator can protect electric systems against EMP systems. In that model, the radio- or electromagnetic pulse will be transformed into the optical signals. That thing decreases their effect on the microchips. The ability to transform electromagnetic bursts into non-coherent optical waves is the tool that can create new types of protective systems against EMP systems. And if the system can be the tool that can be used to create new, ultra-small lasers and masers. 

Those systems can delete things like DNA- and protein molecules with extremely high accuracy. The ability to transform micro- or radiowaves into optical waves makes it possible to create systems that make very small robots swim forward in the water. Those small robots can use lasers to create small bubbles ahead of them. The liquid in the back of the machine pushes it to that bubble. Then that system can revolutionize nanotechnology. 

If the system can transform radio waves into optical beams and turn them coherent. It will revolutionize nanorobot research.

The ability to trap laser rays opens a path to new types of secured data transmission. And it opens the path to new types of military applications. 

The new laser systems offer the fast 4 K data transmission to the Moon. Laser communication is important because solar storms can disturb data transmission. The fast data transmission allows control systems to remotely from Earth. Another thing is that data transmission allows engineers to update systems without the danger that some outsider can steal the robot vehicle’s codes. Those codes can also make it possible to use them to control military drones and robots. The other thing is that it allows you to watch regular TV on the moon. That is a good thing if there are astronauts that stay on the moon for a long time. 

That also makes some operations cheaper, because that means there is no need to create special systems for Moonbases and vehicles. Highly secured data transmission with very high accuracy makes it also possible to create new types of systems that can protect spacecraft against things like small meteorites and space junk. The same laser system can also make it possible to create systems that can destroy targets from the Moon. We know that some nations are interested in using the Moon as a military base. 

The new thing is that the researchers trapped an extremely high-power laser beam between two mirrors. That thing makes it possible to create systems that can revolutionize USB sticks, and the same technology can make it possible to create new types of laser systems. Does the power of the laser system determine its role as a weapon, or is its role as a communication tool? The trapped laser ray can make it possible to create a laser system that pumps energy into that chamber where the laser beam jumps between two mirrors. 

The outside radiation source pumps energy to that beam. And sooner or later the laser ray breaks the structure. The laser bullet can be that kind of system. The bullet simply involves two mirrors and the laser beam that jumps between two 100% reflecting mirrors. When that bullet hits the structure it releases a laser ray into the object. The same system can also store data in that laser ray. The optical USB stick offers very high capability and secured data transportation between two computers. If somebody opens that USB stick that releases a laser beam immediately,
