is there anyway to harness the IR in a green laser pointer by breaking whatever turns the IR green?
Well you don't need to break anything.If you want, you can "gently remove" the crystals, much better than breaking them. Maybe a DX200 green would give you somewhere near 1W of IR.Liberty1992 said:darn, i had heard on here, someone posted a thing saying that when he tried to mod his green laser he broke the aperture that made it green and now its a burning IR laser, and thats what i was hoping to do as well, except on purpose. that being said where can i buy a powerful IR laser and about how much should it cost?

Then those are some crazy efficient crystals :No way you'd get 1W from a DX200. 500mW at most.

see burning is what i want, and an invisible burner would be cool to psych out my friends. as far as DIY is concerned it all comes down to money, today I'm going to get a BR module from Blu-Ray and try my first DIY laser that wayDanjoo said:I do it, : i break my greenie and now its only 808 but burning.
But it was an accident that i remove and loose the crystal, green is much cooler than invisible 808.
Spend some time to DIY, i can spend hours with some lenses and my greenie. :
