The plan I had was to combine my 2 red lasers to ONE beam !!
And I don’t have any Beam splitter
My idea was to shine the laser into a the tip of the mirror, then the next one did exactly the same but parallel on the other mirror
(I think this method has a name?)
And as you maybe know, Laser is not so common in this country
So all my knowledge I got is = Laser is a RED DOT
So after rigging up my 2 modules........ With some glue....
I start to aim them with my mirror as close as a manage to do!
(NO i don’t have any adjustment screws)
Then after many many many attempts to aim them I suddenly realize that the _go_with_what_you_got_style_ dont work when you going to combine 2 100mW red laser modules
I understand now that the red laser modules need to be PERFECT aimed in parallel at the first place !!
Then the mirror have to be PERFECT adjusted so the beam are R E A L L Y close to each other
I was going to Subject this Thread as a "Red modules Combining project" ...
But since the result was only a combined beam at the first 10 feet, I think it’s not a combined beam actually ... he he .. but I will find more tools and build better holders for the laser and mirrors and get STRONGER back
here are some pic:
Homemade stands to hold the mirror (my first attemt to made one)
This is TRUE 200mW red beam![]()
2x100mW combined in paralell
2 red modules combining into each other in the mirror

Cheap.... really cheap Heat-sink holders for my 2 modules
Yes they are peeeerfect setup here in a nice adjustet paralell ... ehm :roll:
Well... dont laugh...
