This beamforming effect only works well when each sensor is getting a dramatic enough "different angle" on the signal that each one can use phase shifting to cancel out other noise, but with a laser there's not really any noise to cancel out (i mean you're just monitoring a vibrational spot on a window), and you also don't have a far enough "different angle" to shine from, if you're monitoring from one spot.

However having multiple lasers from multiple different locations might be able to create an improved signal if all signals are averaged, but it wouldn't really be due to the phase shifting that's used in beamforming.
