I must admit. First and foremost, I am a musician obsessed with synthesis. I began to think about light as multiple frequencies, and as a waveform, and it got me to thinking about some of the things that are possible with sound, such as filtering (which can be done with light already), but in sound synthesis you can use a form of synthesis called frequency modulation, which is when a carrier wave modulates the frequency of another wave. This results in a new "timbre", or overall sound. This same principle can be applied to light, and should result in a new spectral identity.
For example, what would happen if you modulated a gamma ray with a radio wave? It should be a new type of light waveform. The amplitude would be increased of course, and the speed more than likely wouldn't be affected, but it could lead to something.
I am mainly posting because I am curious what you all think might be the result, and also because I realize there may be some danger in experimenting in this manner. I think understanding light and experimenting with it can lead to understanding how its speed is relative to space-time.
Any thoughts and feedback appreciated.
