I deplore mode hopping, but I could see how it could be fun for others. I had to recalibrate and retest a 20mW green laser by B&W over and over again because it was mode hopping all over the place for 3 days. I am currently making this test fixture to align lasers for a Axon 4000B, and must be...

I'm buying 10mW red lasers from Coherent. They do not come focused nor collimated, so I need to do it myself.

I was hoping that someone could help me find safety goggles that cover the full range of wavelengths and have an OD of less than 2 so that I can still see the laser for calibration/alignment. I typically work with 10-40mw Blue (488nm), 20mW Green (532nm), 10mW Yellow (596nm), and 10mw Red...
