Forgive my ignorance if I sound like a complete moron on this subject. But I was looking into different ways of combining lasers, and was thinking about using the knife edge method, when I thought of a potentially much better way, which I've never found any info on.
What if you shine each laser into it's own fiber optic cable, then basically tape all the cables together at all the exits? Fiber cables are really thin, and I think this would be as close as you could possibly bring the beams together.
Another idea(Which I have no idea if the laws of physics would work). Is if you merged all the cables into one at the ends. This solution sounds alot more complicated(forgive my ignorance if this is how fiber lasers already work)
Just thought I'd share my thoughts on this. Has anyone every tried anything like this?
