A directed-energy weapon that makes use of lasers is referred to as a laser weapon. After many decades of research and development, directed-energy weapons such as lasers are still in the experimental stage as of January 2020. It is unknown whether or not these weapons will ever be deployed as operational, high-performance military weapons, and if so, when this will occur. If there is fog, smoke, dust, precipitation, snow, smog, foam, or purposefully scattered obscurant compounds in the atmosphere, atmospheric thermal blooming will be much more severe than it already is. This issue is still mostly unresolved. A laser, at its core, is a light-emitting diode that, in order to function properly and avoid producing unwanted thermal blooming, must emit a beam of light into the atmosphere or into a vacuum.
