Needing some answers to an idea I had.
From the time I watched the first terminator, I've thought of a 40w portable laser.
Just wondering if I could make the below idea work, or if the wavelengths would cancel each other out.
Take a 90mm makutov telescope. Build a heatsink in front of the corrective plate full of 445nm lasers.
In theory I assume if you used 2w diodes you could build a very wide 2w beam, but I want to combine them to increase output, not create a wider burning beam.
Would it be possible to combine them to a 40watt beam without cancellation of the wavelengths?
What if you used laser diodes of different colors and combined them at the focal point of the telescope?
Just some ideas from an amateur. Seems like 14 445nm modules could put out 40 watts and there would be enough room to mount them in front of a small makutov, just not sure how the beams would interact with each other.
