Question: What exactly do you mean by "blowing things up with lasers"?

We use Lasers to test sensors. We determine how good the sensors are by looking at how much charge they can take from the Laser. Hence, keep firing the laser until the sensor gives up. I have to obviously note that this happens in a controlled setup and we follow the health and safety regulations.
