I read of an LED laser putting out roughly 16 watts,
but it was pulsed at 0.001s.  How do they get the
higher power output, do they increase the voltage or
current for the pulse?  I have a 16.5W IR LED array,
but not coherent light.  How would I increase the W
when pulsed?  Can the non coherent IR be focused to
burn a small hole in tissue or typing paper?
