As it's a question you could easily answer by yourself if you read some.
Firstly, thanks for your response.
Secondly, I have read some, hence you can see the way I framed my question indicates the reason why I asked, despite reading about it on the forum, is simply because 1) I didn't come across it being discussed directly, just some references were made to it in various threads, this is why I asked here to gain some direct and solid and correct replies to it, as opposed to passing references that people have made about it in various threads, which may or may not be correct. 2) I had made thread about ir lasers already in which I mentioned a few things and I was opposed by some members, then I replied, but didn't get a counter reply, so I am left baffled and thinking, was I right in my assumptions or am I still wrong.
This is why I opened this thread, despite this issue being dealt with in various places on the forum. Not because I was too lazy to read, hence the way I framed my question indicates I have read about it, but still wanted assurance and confirmation about this issue.
I hope you understand
The difference is this, the 808 would be the only one that you "might" be able to see as a very faded dot, but what you will see is just a fraction of what it's really there, on the other wavelenghts they are invisible to the human eye....
Let me get this straight, with all of them I will not be able to see the beam at all, but with 808nm I will be able to see the dot? is that correct?
I read on the jetlaser site, that the dot could be seen with all of them, but the 830nm or the 930nm (can't remember which) has a squarish dot and the others 808nm and 1064nm has a circle dot? is that correct?
This lasers are VERY DANGEROUS since they emit a beam of light that you can't see but that will harm just as any other laser, you would need special protective eyeglases for protection.
Poeple keep going on about how dangerous it is,but ir laser at 1w isn't more dangerous than a green laser at 1w? in terms of burning ability?
the only thing that makes it more dangerous is the fact that the beam is invisible, is that correct?
Now since the beam is invisible I would stay away from them, there is no sense in having them (at least anything over 808nm) unless you are a lab scientist and need them for some specific reason.
And that is because anything above 808nm burns better?
or because 808nm is just about visible, but anything about is totally invisible?
Thanks.
