Hey all. I haven't looked at the forums too heavily but I know this is the right place. Getting into lasers is a new thing outside of what my cat has chased around the living room for the last 11 years. Can't say if I'll be around for very long or not but it'll be a good hobby to work on till the next big thing comes along. Until then, I'm all for learning and figuring out these things.
A few years back I spotted this video which piqued my interest since communications, HF/UHF, Amateur, and other kinds of radio have been a hobby for years.

Simple little gimmick, like the basic FM transmitter we made in an electronics class in high school sometime in the mid 90s.
Looking to find out how to build my own laser range finder, color detector, "burning" laser, and ones of all colors and patterned lenses too.
Now, I'm just interested in the lasers themselves. Watts, power, etc etc. So please be gentle - this is my first time
