Is anyone in this group familiar with lasers?
I have worked with lasers for over forty years, what is your question?
DAB
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?
If you are asking if one laser beam can interfere with the propagation of another laser beam, I do not think it is possible.
First, the photon stream is very small and the mass of one photon is hard to use as a deflector for another photon.
I am curious as to your intended application.

For 3D printing from liquids and powders to a 3D monitor for visuals...
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.
Time will tell.

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.
Like SLA printing?
Supposed to be faster because it doesn't have to go layer-by-layer. SLA uses UV to polymerize, this needs simultaneous red + blue. I'm guessing that the material is expensive.
Doesn't the peachy printer use a laser to print? Is this the idea you want to recreate Brad?
Thats not a bad price $100 but it's not ready to ship. I've been looking for the prices to drop on printers.
If you want a peak at my research, you can get a copy of my book "I Killed Schrodinger's Cat!"
I describe a very simple way to view how subatomic structures are created and how we can use that simple structure can be exploited.
I only use simple algebra and geometry, so you do not have to worry about the math.
We include more math detail for those who feel they need it.
Anyway, it may help you visualize the energy/mass transfer going on at the atomic level.

Nice book, how many have you sold?
Nice book, how many have you sold?
A few dozen or so.
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.
