Graduate Using lasers to create a luminous spot in transparent medium
Definition of semantics: "The meaning, or an interpretation of the meaning, of a word, sign, sentence, etc." Hologram was in between quote marks suggesting a figurative way of speech as indeed it was as I was not referring to the well defined hologram you find on your currency, but instead the...- Rataridicta

Graduate Using lasers to create a luminous spot in transparent medium
Yeah, much closer indeed. But they are ionizing the air, which requires a huge amount of energy as it probably gets heated to somewhere around 5k-10k K I'd rather not attempt to toy with such high energy devices; obvious reasons. That's why I'm so focussed on finding a medium (maybe some form...- Rataridicta

Graduate Using lasers to create a luminous spot in transparent medium
Which is why I coined the term within quote marks. Making something glow upon illumination is exactly what I don't want, so let me paint you a picture. Imagine, if you will, a chamber. Within this chamber is a glass floor which easily allows light to pass through. Because you are some form of...- Rataridicta

You would if you do it with several points at once. But semantics aside, this is still a physics question and has gone unanswered.- Rataridicta

Graduate Using lasers to create a luminous spot in transparent medium
Projecting an image in thin air. I want to create an excitation at one point in the transparent medium in such a way that that point will glow. Both of the individual lasers however, have to remain unseen. The assumption I'm making is that in order to do this, you'll need a higher energy area...- Rataridicta

Graduate Using lasers to create a luminous spot in transparent medium
First allow me to apologize should this thread be in the wrong forum, I am not entirely sure whether Quantum Physics is the right one. I am also unaware of the exact level to which this question belongs, which is why I went for intermediate. Please inform me if this should be changed to...- Rataridicta
