Abstract
As a part of the research on physical pest control, the laser emission extermination system is currently under development. In this research, a method was developed to measure the vitality of Drosophila: fruit fly against laser emission. This paper presents various aspects of the vitality of Drosophila that were affected by a laser, using a quantitative measurement system. This system measures the vitality of insect by detecting the amount of CO2 produced during breathing. The results with a green laser (532nm) show more efficiency than that with an infrared laser (1, 064nm). Exposure of the green laser to the target insects estimates an energy density threshold level near 6kJ/m2.
