No Paul you can not get something for nothing. You can take the energy in your battery and produce coherent light from it. But you will, at best, get a few percent efficiency with your ruby. It is the coherency that counts.
Here's a hopefully useful analogy. Stand out in the sun on a hot day and look at the top of your hand. Nothing is burning. Focus that light through a lens (losing 5-10% of the energy) onto your hand and you will be in a world of pain.
Nothing increases. What you are getting is focus.

OK... you know where the earth is , and its distance from the sun.
now build a imaginary "hollow sphere that big"
the sun in its center.
.......I inserted this today ..........
the distance from the inside surface of the sphere to the sun the being the same distance as the earth to the sun. this distance varries so
you can use 96 million miles as the radius of the sphere in your spreadsheet to find the surface area of the inside surface of the sphere.
using a 2 inch dia magnifying glass at a distance of apx 3 inches I can focus the suns light on an area apx 1/8 inch this morning.
now back up 3 inches from the 96 million miles and find that area where all the magnifying glasses will be placed.
divide that area by the area of the magnifying glass to find the number of magnifying glasses
to use.
then multiply that number by the 1/8 inch area and you will have your heated area on the sphere.
.......... end insert ...................
insert everyone that ever existed and billions more standing on the inside surface of this sphere.
let them do the same " hold a magnifying glass and point it at their hand"
then measure the total area that is being heated
in all the hands...
what would the total heated area be?
more than the surface area of the sun?
if not remove the people and keep only the magnifying glasses and the sphere.
except add a few hundred thousand billion more magnifying glasses to focus the suns light energy onto the spheres inside surface...
now is it bigger?
now with the(losing 5-10% of the energy) loss you speak of how much heat (energy) do we now have?
how much did we begin with?
---------------------------------------
was there any type of increase?
---------------------------------------
was there any type of energy used other than the suns energy?
Im still waiting for your reply...
