So answer me this question please...for a while now I have been making DIY projects at home and what I wanted to achieve is a 20 watt or higher 405nm output laser using only dioeds from laser burners with a single output beam using fiber optics with a different approach... I wanted to focus all the individual diodes into a larger fiber optic piece about 3/32nm in diameter at a very close range say 1'' and the fiber optic piece gather all of the individual beams into the fiber and focus them at the other end with a lens into a single beam, and the fiber optic piece would be about 6'' long would that work?
