Space Elevator Blog, E-T-C, and Trumpf
The Space Elevator Blog has a detailed interview with laser supplier
Trumpf. They're in the business of (among other things of course)
helping the Space Elevator Games laser teams. The post goes into some
ideas on how a laser source could be designed to work at the distances
and with the focus needed at altitudes relevant to a Space Elevator.
The discussion suggests a third Space Elevator Games challenge -
cooling the beam power receiver in the vacuum of space.
The details of what Trumpf is offering to the teams are also
discussed.
