Fusion is the process by which the sun produces energy. One experimental technique for creating controlled fusion utilizes a solid-state laser that emits a wavelength of 1060 nm and can produce a power of 1.0 x 10^14 W for a pulse duration of 1.1 x 10^(-11) s. In contrast, the helium/neon laser used at the checkout counter in a bar-code scanner emits a wavelength of 633 nm and produces a power of about 1.0 x 10^(-3) W. How long (in days) would the helium/neon laser have to operate to produce the same number of photons that the solid-state laser produces in 1.1 x 10^(-11) s?
