I have ordered from aixiz inernational the 200mw red 650nm laser diode in the past and they work great,but I was wondering the shape of these diodes are such...with the sides flat and only two sides rounded you can put two diodes side by side into a standard aixiz housing using a "dremel" tool to make the back of the housing oval shaped to fit both the diodes in a single housing. With proper heat sinking and only using this for shory burst of "on" times aroung 10-20 seconds and letting the diodes cool down could the two diodes actually be collimated by the single glass lens as both the diodes emmit their photons together side by side an pass through the lens maybe in a slightly wider beam but with twice the energy in mw? And if this worked for one housing and you used a combining cube with another housing set up the same would the two collimated beams combine in that fashion since it is only two collimated beams but in reality it is 4 diodes 2+2. If you know the answer let me know. This would achieve a 1 watt pulsed laser and around 800mw+ c.w. for short burn times!
