1Obtain the components:
Obtain all of the required components. If a Terra-Watt or Peta-Watt class laser is not available, i.e., due to economic factors, supply chain issues, or legal restrictions in your jurisdiction, you may substitute a lower power, non-coherent photonic source, according to your individual budgetary and "other" constraints.

Instructions for this step will be provided, "eventually". Rest assured - it actually works - and the image you are seeing is NOT Photoshopped.

This is where we are supposed to tell you who we are ... but neither you, nor we, or our friends and confidants are ready for that. That is why we do some of the things that we do. Usually, before we shamelessly "borrow" some research carried at great expense by some government agency, often that which is so classified that it doesn't have a three-letter abbreviation, we will in some manner, try to negotiate the appropriate rights to use that material, for whatever such purposes as we require, thus avoiding any sort of terrible mis-underestimation. In many cases, purely verbal negotiations, or otherwise personal relations have occurred, where only a limited reduction to writing has occurred with respect to such arrangements - often with a certain quality of understanding that we will try to respect the proper degrees of discretion that might be necessary, or which are ordinarily understood to exist, and thus if possible, we will try to respect the privacy of some, who are not necessary part of this story, at least for as much as we are able.
Likewise, as recent news events have indicated, sometimes it is necessary for us to "break privilege", so to speak, when a client, or confidant might be a danger to others. Cognizant of that, we operate with a similar understanding of discretion, but we nonetheless will exercise the ordinary discretion of a proper journalistic enterprise with respect to our sources and our reporting.
In the real world, of course, that is not always possible, especially when we wish to write an utterly damning expose on someone we really don't like, and especially when the nature of our intention is to utterly repudiate their character based on our true best estimate of their inner nature. Thus, when we attempt to utterly mortify a public figure, or other corrupt institution, it is likely with good cause, even if we can at best support it sometimes with merely a scintilla of evidence.
Yet let us be clear, while a scintilla of evidence might be just a little more than nothing, it is nonetheless something, and by virtue of the fact that it is something, and not merely nothing, where there is at least a scintilla, there is certainly at least something, and that something, at least, is quite often all that is needed for someone to come forward and open a more proper investigate, or else judicial investigation within such a body as would normally be the sort of venue to more closely examine such things as there may be, that is to say, if even under oath.
Or else we can simply pursue justice in the political arena, and try to restore the proper equilibrium of the balance, and thus be exposing and moving beyond the equivocation of the facade in the current climate, we can continue to move on, once the implications of the innuendoes that we wish to prescribe have been realized.
If none of this applies to you, you may proceed. If any of this applies to you, you have been warned. If you can't find a check box that says "I AGREE", then get out your check-book, as your taxes are about to go WAY UP!

4Test the device!
Usual rules apply here.
1. Do not look into laser with remaining "good eye", etc.
