Anyway, if one placed 6 of them on custom tube equally spaced and can be turned on with one master switch and the tube is made out of whatever, and each one is focused to the length of 5 feet to a specific point, would they act as one?
Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Venkman: What?
Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
Venkman: Why?
Spengler: It would be bad.
Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?
Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Venkman: Right. That's bad! Okay. All right. Important safety tip! Thanks, Egon.
And may I say, from a moral point of view, I think there can be no justification for shoving snack cakes up your action.

Pretty much, diode lasers have terrible divergence and mode properties. Now what you can do, is use diode lasers as source pumps for bigger lasers. :mrgreen:
