Flat surfaces produce the jetsam and curved the flotsam
sounds/looks like to me.
Could use a more transmittable glass perhaps.
To Jim and Blue who spoke up. You deserve all the credit here.

hey this has been fun collaboration so to speak. I was serious about this
making a great example scene addition. Chris mentioned (over in the beta
test group) wanting to get the example scenes cleaned up and maybe some
additions. I had a look at what's there now and found nothing about lasers.
There was however a couple of photon examples
(scenes/incdemo/glasses/glass.pov and scenes/lights/phot_met_glass.pov). I
also think adding variable quality settings is a good idea. my typical test
scene low qaulity was just shy of a hour ... high quality went 10 hours
before I stopped it. I have a single core 2.4ghz system :-( The
concave/convex reflectors was a great idea (a mini physics lesson) that's
why I think it would make a great example scene. if you into posting the
code i'll pretty it up (add comments and such) and variable quality options
..... maybe even work on the glass if you haven't started that.

Looking really great, I love optics scenes.
Very kind of you, but while I may have touched the ball in the
beginning, you've run much farther and faster with it, so to speak.

cool. ya dont hesitate to ask. I dont like the dark. Show me the light; or code
as it were. Always available.
here's what I got so far, use whatever you need.

I believe the table needs to take up the entire view. I rendered past the table
once, and it seemed to take 20 times longer, as if photons had nothing to hit.
should have said more about previous post.
Focusing:
there seems to be at least 2, maybe 3 vars to focusing. all for position and
radius of concave lense.
focusing seemed impossible trial and error. difficult to tell if your going the
right way, like throwing random numbers at it.
focusing needs a calculation I have yet to devise.

#declare laser =
light_source {
<22,2,22>, <.4,0,1>*120
120 was 90 for "lasertest". I turned it up even more to try and refocus
and get a beam out of concave lense from this light. I was unsuccessful.

If you need to recreate 'lasertest_00.png' ...
there were 3 changes I remember:
laser multiplier from 120 back to 90
comment out one line:
#declare concav_ =
comment out one line:
object { concav_glass1 translate <8.645,2,-10> } // not focused 8.64 r 1.75
thats about all I can think to elaborate on.

what about thickness of the lens? that was to be my next test until i got
side tracked
