Some of our forum members also make high-quality DIY lasers. I'm not sure if the "big players" are still selling 405 nm lasers as they seem to have moved on to 445 nm ones, but I'd check the Laser Pro Shop and the B/S/T boards.

Done. I hope she wins!

As there seems to be hundreds of laser companies nowadays, it can be hard to determine which are reputable. While there is a forum for discussing such companies, a potential buyer might have to sift through multiple reviews to get a good idea of a company's reputation. One way to solve this...

You should also add Optotronics and NOVAlasers to the list of reputable companies.

There used to be a laser-related wiki at lasers.wikia.com. However, it's now returning a 404 error. Anyone know what happened to it?

I've never purchased from Lazerer, but I had heard it was a good company. It's really sad to see their reputation go south.

I've heard the police in Port Aransas are kind of seedy: Port Aransas Texas Police Misconduct and Corruption Inquiry

I once heard that cats' eyes have a higher threshold of optical damage (something like 50 mW compared to 15 mW for humans). But I could be wrong.

I think this is her website. At least she's the first person I've seen extract laser diodes from DVD burners.

This thread on PL might be worth a look.

I may be wrong, but I have reasons to believe that "Stephanie" from the Wicked Lasers forum was the first person to make a DIY laser from a DVD burner.

What was done in the show sounds like a really bad idea. It could have resulted in tragic consequences if someone was armed and mistook the prank for a real robbery. Back on topic, I have mixed feelings about this whole thing with regards to lasers. While it's great to see so many fellow...

I'm pretty busy in real life these days, so I don't really have much time to play with my lasers anymore. :( I do hope Soraa's high-powered single-mode 450 nm diodes would out soon, though!

You could also try to get a job at one of the more reputable laser companies. There is a forum member (Event_Horizon) who joined the Laserglow team due to his interest in lasers.

Back when I got my first class IIIb laser, evening was just about the most exciting thing. The novelty wore off after a few months, though. :)

I wonder if any LPF members were involved...

Happy birthday!

I think we can all agree that police have difficult jobs. However, that does not mean they can shoot whatever they want, and they need to be held accountable for their actions just like everyone else. How often do you hear of mailmen shooting dogs?

Are you talking about the Matthew Stewart incident?

Considering that police shoot innocent dogs so often, I'm surprised pet owners never seem to shoot back.
