I was excited to hear that one of my physics professors had a laser power meter sitting around one of the labs. I was less excited once I found out that it was more of an analytical laser power meter which only metered up to 20 mW. Here is a link to the meter:

My professor mentioned that I could possibility use a neutral density filter to meter higher power lasers with, Here is a link to a filter from DX:
DealExtreme: $7.46 Premium ND8 Camera Lens Filter (72mm)
Does anyone have any experience with doing this? I would like to have a pretty accurate reading and im not sure if this would provide inaccurate readings.
Also I am wondering if the banana connector could be hooked up to a voltmeter to measure higher power lasers. Would this potentially damage the protector head?
Thanks!
