Contrast this with a gabor zone plate lens, combined with

I agree with everything you say. But I'm talking about using
holographic techniquest and nonlinear optical media to construct a
laser that returns a conjugate beam to a target multiplied many
thousands of times in energy - in response to a weak pilot beam..

You are avoiding that subject altogether. Since you seem
knowledgeable, let me give you some references you might find useful
Then maybe you'll understand what i'm getting at.

I'm talking about creating a optical phase conjugation system - not a
holographic imaging system. So, lets be clear about this. We want to
project energy from a large solar pumped laser - safely and reliably
to a large number of moving targets simultaneously though intervening
media with some measure of control. Nothing you have said suggests
this is not possible.

Prime subject avoiding and/or banishment on behalf of their suggesting
that your SBLs are either too spendy or simply impossible is what this
anti-think-tank of mostly faith-based naysayism is all about. Folks
here as rabbi moderators/rusemasters in charge of their Usenet
naysayville are simply opposed to anything that's off-world, and much
worse if it's good for the environment or for those of us sequestered
upon their polluted planet that's getting spendier and more lethal by
the day.

BTW, how's your PC or MAC doing tese days against that gauntlet via
all of their spermware/fuckware?
