This week I built a stand that could hold five lasers (650nm, 589nm switched to a 650/532combo, 520nm, 450nm, 405nm) on the same horizontal plane and shined the lasers through one diffraction grating (fan and matrix, and oriented horizontal and vertical) to see where the many beams of each color would orient themselves to half decent results. I then added 2 or 3 small mirrors on the other side of the grating and bounced them into a 26"x3" mirror suspended about 6" above the lasers. And eventually bounced those beams into mirrors laid flat onto my table to some really cool results. The last few pics I used a laser pen case to block to the grating entirely to get a nice silhouette effect . Enjoy.

No pics next week as I will be on vacation, yay!
