Question: how to make your lasers

Hi! So what I actually do is buy a big laser then, based on my design, I will add a bunch of mirrors and lenses in front of it. I do that so I can ‘control’ my laser and make it do what I want. For example, mirrors are used to bend the laser so I can make them go in certain directions. I use a pair of lenses to make the laser beam bigger or smaller. I do that because I want a big laser beam on my table. But the cameras I use only have small sensors so I have to use a pair of lenses to make the beam small and fit into the camera.

So how I build my lasers is by using a big laser and adding mirrors and lenses in front of it to make it more (or sometimes less) powerful and change its size
