Everything you need to know about lasers in one photo

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laser_types

Wavelengths of commercially available lasers. Laser types with distinct laser lines are shown above the wavelength bar, while below are shown lasers that can emit in a wavelength range. The height of the lines and bars gives an indication of the maximal power/pulse energy commercially available, while the color codifies the type of laser material

That's a better break down thank you.

Why is there no xray or gamma ray lasers?

This one photo doesn't include how to actually make a laser? Is that not something we need to know?

Pretty sure I went to a rave once where they used all of these.

Now if someone could make a similar power-wavelength chart for solid state diodes, that would be cool.
