They soak the feathers in a laser dye, pump it with a doubled YAG laser, and saw some narrow emission peaks implying a cavity somewhere in the feather structure.
Interesting, but that's one bizarre grant request I'd like to read.
They dont emit lasers... They LASE... Almost anything can lase if hit in the right way with energy. IE: Pulsing a laser crystal with extremely powerful light.

Oh great. So now the flock of peacocks in my backyard are gonna shoot lasers. That’s just fantastic. This feels very Dr. Evil.
I have one simple request. And that is to have peacocks with frickin' laser beams attached to their butts!
Throw me a frickin bone here
We have Sea Bass sir.
It's their yard, you are in their frontcoop DO NOT RESIST YOUR NEW OVERLORDS
Damn you !!!!!
„The team wetted and dried the feathers several times with rhodamine 6G, then pumped them with 532 nanometer light to trigger the effect.
The green parts of the eyespot produced the strongest signal, while the same two laser lines also showed up in yellow and brown zones.“
Quick, someone tell MTG
Laser peacocks in Magic The Gathering would be neat
They sound kinda Yu-Gi-Oh crazy if not Pokémon-esque with a random add-on or two
Bring on the mating call lazer shows
I believe they call them ritual displays
Someone teach them to play Pink Floyd and we're in business
Gonna have to whip out my mirror shield, and by mirror shield I mean my medicine cabinet mirror taped to my arm.
So what about sharks?
You want peacock feathers that can emit sharks? I smell a sharknado reboot in the making!
Sharks that shoot lasers
What about
Sharks that shoot peacocks that shoot lasers?
This is sensationalist science... Again...
They dont emit lasers... They LASE... Almost anything can lase if hit in the right way with energy. IE: Pulsing a laser crystal with extremely powerful light.
Its the same basic concept...
I look over and I see uncle peacock shooting laser beams out of his eyes!
