how to heat up photons?
use heat tool :moai:
if you're talking about in a mechanism, it can transfer heat so technically bouncing it off a really hot object would work (although is terribly inefficient and there's definitely a better way of doing it)
Heat up the sides of the laser 'tube', or pass the PHOT through heated FILT, GLAS, QRTZ, C-5, or other transparent material.
