Will there ever be a way to concentrate sound into a single beam just like a laser does to light?

Yes, but like light, the width of the beam will have to be several wavelengths or diffraction will mean most of the energy will just leak out sideways.

How do you turn light into sound?
Light has waves right? And sound have waves. If you shine like a laser, a very strong laser, the light waves maybe so strong that is could vibrate the air around it, causing sound
What devices convert light energy into sound energy?
laser microphone
What is long form of LASER?
LASER- light amplification by stimulated emission by radiation SASER - sound amplification by stimulated emission by radiation
How does laser light carry sound?
Basically, the same way AM radio waves do: by modulating the amplitude (intensity) of the carrier wave (the laser beam).
Do laser produce sound?
only very few

Is Frequency modulated in the light beam of the laser when transfering sound?
Yes it is. That is why you get a scrachy and unclear sound.

How do Cd's Produce sound?
When a CD is burned, the laser burns a single track of data, starting from the center and moving outward in a spiral. When it is read, another laser picks up this data and the hardware then translates this data into sound.
Which shoots out of a gun faster a bullet or a laser?
Since Laser is light and light is faster than anything we know of on earth the laser is faster, especially if it is a constant beam. Bullets can travel faster than sound, but still nowhere near the speed of light. Besides, despite what you see in Star Wars, there are not laser guns, only lasers.
Does laser use sound energy?
No.
Do laser produce sound?
only very few
Can sound waves travel through lasers?
Yes. The laser beam is a beam of coherent light. Just photons. Meanwhile the sound wave is travelling through a medium....which isn't really true of the photons, they'll travel whether there's a medium or not. There's essentially no interaction or interference between the two. Saying that I can think of ways you could detect sound waves using lasers...but I wouldn't worry about that - sound will travel just fine through a laser beam providing it still has a medium to travel through. i.e: a laser can be present in a strong vacuum but sound won't pass through a strong vacuum - at least not to any useful degree....but that's not the laser stopping it.
Though sound and light have the same wave equation why doesn't light diverge?
Oh it does ! Try shining a light, even a laser, through a small hole in foil or cardboard. When comparing sound and light, don't forget to allow for the difference in wavelength, and adjust the dimensions of the expected phenomena accordingly. Maybe a better comparison would be between sound and radio ... FM or low-band TV ... since the wavelengths are comparable.
What energy transformation takes place using a DVD player?
Electrical energy changes to light and sound energy.
