Best Answer

No. A laser is a bean of light that propagates in one direction with little spread and generate light only over a very small range of wavelengths. The rays of sunlight are parallel only because of our great distance from the sun. Sunlight can be focused to a point using mirrors or lenses, but will spread out beyond that point, rather than as a coherent beam light a laser. Additionally, sunlight consists of the entire spectrum of light.
