Can't prevent photon backscatter

    I made a uranium heated photon laser. It gets up about 8000 degrees. It works pretty well, but I'm having two problems. There's the occasional annoying photon that goes off to the side instead of in the main beam, which isn't a huge problem (but if anyone could fix that I would be very grateful), and then there's the problem with reflected photons. If the laser is aimed at a flat surface, the photon beam will bounce right back into the barrel. This causes the PSCN and NSCN in the back to overheat and melt, breaking the laser. Is there a way to fix this?

    One thing you can do is seperate the PSCN and NSCN from the PCLN. The signals can still transfer through the INSL to the PCLN. Example:

    Edit: I looked at your laser and you could make the INSL thicker, because photons can pass through 1 pixel walls.
