Abstract:
A laser system outputs a laser light which is directed toward an object. The laser light has a frequency corresponding to the sympathetic or natural vibration frequency of molecules forming the object. The laser light is controlled so that in response to interaction with the object, the laser light forces the molecules of the object to vibrate at their sympathetic or natural vibration frequency thereby causing a thermal resistance of the object to increase whereupon a flow of thermal energy through the object is obstructed.
