Hi All,

I'm new here and forgive me if I've posted in the wrong section, I'm more of a computer engineering/architect guy asking a physics question.

Is it possible to have a projected laser beam repeated across multiple points? between the range of 600nm-900nm ?

Example, a pad that takes in the laser beam and repeats the same output across multiple points of the pad.

Thank you,
Mina

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. Are you asking if you can split a laser beam into multiple beams?

I'm not sure I understand your question. But in your example, every one of those multiple points would have to have its own laser.

If you are experimenting, laser safety is very important. Is your question theoretical or are you experimenting?
