Saw something on ebay: 100W QCW, High Power Laser Diode Bar, 808nm, for DPSS (sry no link cuz it wont allow me to post links for people under 10 posts) What is this thing used for?

Say a one watt IR laser, what power would that equal to in a blu ray laser?

I remembered that there was someone in the forum that used a broken SLR camera part to mix laser colors. He made yellow I think.....

As you can see, i am new here and wants to learn about lasers. :-[ I have a list of questions after reading a bunch of threads . The questions are: What are DPSS. Whats laser pumping, how does it work. Whats the most powerful output laser color for lasers (IR?) How powerful are IR lasers...
