You need to elaborate : gas? diode? diode array?
A red diode laser will never beat a C02 gas laser...

would you be able to align a few diodes up in a circular shape and aim them at one focal point enhancing their power and creating one very strong laser?

I think we've all topped out at 60W. I too have a 60. But it wouldn't take much for someone to buy one of the 100+ watt diode bars.

I just acquired a 20j ruby rod, I have an idea that its close to a 10 million watt pulse. I haven't done the math, its just a guess. I bet frothy or gguss could say for sure. The rod is almost 6 inches x 3/8th's.
