Why are you lasers staggered like that? are you knifeedging off the corner of the mirrors? or is that to cater for horizontal and vertical polarised beams to get a more uniform output beam.

(sorry I am new to this stuff, knifeedging and pbs cubes etc) :)

Hey cool array youve got there!
I am pretty new to knife edging.. why arent you using shine through mirrors? would it be less efficient?
Also I am curious: Is this the technique they sometimes use on these very powerful industrial lasers for cutting and welding? Like maybe they combine for 30W lasers and get something like a 120W cutter? Or are there limits in power?
