Default Light Photons/Waves

Has any experiment been conducted where two lasers of the exact same
frequency(as close as is humanly possible) have been pointed at two
devices which could measure the light reaching then. The next step
being the two beams intersect one another perfectly at a 90 degree
angle still going into the measuring devices at the same angle. Again
measure the light. This would of course be done in a container devoid
of any outside source of radiation that was in the same frequency range
as the lasers. Just use visible light as an example. If I've left
anything out that concerns the feasibility or the validity of such an
experiment, please feel free to fill it in, but do not discount my
request for information please.
I am very curious to know if this has been done, and what the results
were. Thanks!


Light doesn't scatter light. This has been discussed in
sci.physics.research with the appropiate mathematics for calculating
the probabilty of the effect vs intensity. Light doesn't get that
intense.

You don't measure a small difference between two large numbers. You'd
get bupkis. You measure the angular dependence of scattered photons.
Single photon counting is no big deal.
