We have investigated the interaction of two counterpropagating focused laser beams with vacuum at electro-magnetic-field strengths far below the Schwinger limit. Unlike the case of a single beam, the polarization and magnetization in vacuum that interacts with the two laser beams are mainly generated by electro-magnetic-field components parallel to the electromagnetic field of the incident laser light. This results in much greater polarization and magnetization being generated than for a single beam. The number of photons radiated from a vacuum when counterpropagating beams were used was more than 3 orders of magnitude higher than when a single beam was used for the same laser power.
