Hi DAB, I'm looking for a type of laser that can intersect with another laser to interfere or stop the propagation of the lasers. Is there any way of doing this?
it acts as On/Off switch by using Kerr effect. basically you will create shutter with ultrashort impulse, and you can "chop" other light source with it, aka shutter
it is only for fs lasers, like Ti:Sa or Yb:KGW, since you need lot of intensity to get Kerr effect into action, it's not about average power, it's about peak intensity
you should look for Pockels cell, or Faraday rotator, you could control it by voltage/current by using polarized light and polarizer. This is best way to control light from laser. But it is controlled by electricity, not by light, so i don't know will fit your purpose
OK, I believe most of them use pulsed lasers to control exposure time.
If you use a CW laser, then you can use a simple shutter or deflector mirror to control the beam.
I agree that using a laser to sinter powders to make metal objects is intriguing. I have not been keeping up with the technology, but I know there are a number of pulsed laser with specific wavelengths that make this process easier.
I am currently researching a new way to view individual atoms and how they bind physically, chemically and biologically via photon transfer. One of my goals is to find specific frequencies that facilitate the bonding process with minimal energy needs.

That's interesting, I like the idea of controlling atoms with lasers too. The idea is to change the charge of the photons to alter them. I really like this.
So far we have done very little marketing on the book, but I am taking the ideas forward to redefine the periodic table as a new way to view atomic structures.
We are convinced that the photon is the key to all mass and energy transfer between atoms. I believe this process occurs in all physical, chemical and biological processes.
I will be providing more information as my research continues and my head clears from my current medical issues.
