Is there a low energy way to alter the path of a photon in the direction you want.
From what I've read on here photons pretty much follow the shortest path. Magnetic fields in energy levels that can be reasonably produced do nothing to alter their path. Large gravitational fields distort space-time which means photons aren't bending their still just following the shortest path.
I know some matter can reflect photons so there must be an interaction going on that can be used. Perhaps some kind of crystal or prism with the right attributes.
Ultimately what I want to know is if photons coming from all various directions can be made to move in the same direction.
