    durration of exposure with goggles/glasses

    these goggles say "Utilizing non-reflective technology, energy is absorbed for a minimum of 10 seconds at the maximum power density for the OD or L rating before loss of protection and will not photo-bleach or degrade over time." so 10 seconds min, but what about the maximum? shouldnt it say...

    Strange (maybe not?) thing when burning with red.

    asked some "laser guys" I know at work (I work for IBM) who work with really powerful lasers and some co2 lasers they said it can be a problem for red lasers because it is a blue or white light that is similar to the ark of a welder and will cause damage to your eyes - they showed me some...

    white fusion on plane

    you can just put it in your checked luggage I learned a tip from a pro photographer who kept getting his equipment stolen especially traveling over seas - he would get a "starter pistol" that shoots blanks and keep it unloaded, you tell the airlines you have to declare a weapon in the luggage...

    Need a Laser to kill Spiders (!!)

    yep I have these in my house and I hate them - I always see them in the basement they do go in pairs, and thats strange for sure I think its even stranger that when I kill a large one within a day or 2 I will see a smaller one running around and will kill that one, then a even smaller one will...

    lasers in sci-fi movies and books

    if there were using something that can reflect off of something then I would think that a laser that powerful of even a 1000% decrease in power from a reflection would still blind you but they are talking about ionized air in some cases that is from a x-ray laser or IR laser or a mazer but...

    lasers in sci-fi movies and books

    so I read lots of sci-fi and watch movies also many of the books have large battles with laser weapons and such (Pandora's Star/Judas Unchained - Peter F. Hamilton) and some have lasers used to cut things but no where have I ever seen anything ever mentioned about people going blind from...

    Max handheld cutting/burning power

    are you talking about hand held like fits in a pocket or something that you can hold in your hand and cut things I bet you could power a co2 laser on a backpack with a fiber optic cable on it and a large heat sink with lens on it and cut all sorts of things - probably only work for minutes up...

    O-like 1W 445nm

    I think that o-like says to use the 16340 batteries - could the 18650 be used in place of this like the rayfos one says it uses?

    O-like 1W 445nm

    what is this a response to? also the rayfos laser isnt waterproof, it says it can be added but it makes spare mark around the doot because of the lens used does the o-like have the same problem how about some pics of these in use

    FS: Stainless Steel 18650 Kit! Polished! Perfect for 445...

    can this be done with any handheld lasers? an adjustable power output - like set the thingie to output a little less then the max the diode can handle and put a knob you can turn to make it brighter or dimmer - like something that just expels excess power as heat yea this would make things...

    O-like purchase of 445nm and 405nm lasers

    I am thinking about getting one of these but I am looking for some videos or pics to show the beam quality and dot size - also how the focusing thingie works, is it the same as taking a lens and focusing it into a pin point to burn things or is it only for adjusting the dot size at distance...

    Where to buy good yellow/orange lasers or laser diodes?

    I think the 1150nm or more likely 1178nm how does this work, does a 1064nm become a 532nm by frequency doubling (or halving because if you double 1064 you dont get 532) to make it visible? so if thsts the case, I think that 405 and 445 lasers are not dpss's but they could be? if you wanted to...

    FS: Stainless Steel 18650 Kit! Polished! Perfect for 445...

    yea the diamonds are cool, I was talking about this with friends and they all want a laser that is diamond cooled, lol if you are not doing any serious machining then you should try 1050a it is softer but has a way better heat dissipation then the others the thermal paste, they make diamond...

    Where to buy good yellow/orange lasers or laser diodes?

    are the yellows made using a 1178nm ir and pumping it to be 589nm? or is there a non-ir diode used like in the red lasers

    FS: Stainless Steel 18650 Kit! Polished! Perfect for 445...

    the aluminum used, is it pure or an alloy and if so is it 6061 6063 or 1050a if you can machine that stuff without it deforming is a thermal paste used anywhere? and this might sound crazy but have you looked into using synthetic diamond as a heat sink? - I know it can be made into wafers...

    ¿to have 500mw or 1w of red 635nm ttl point?

    hello I am a com-put-er how do you advise?

    same products at different companies for way different prices

    so yea these are all red lasers so should the cheapest one have the same diode as the most expensive one that looks the same

    same products at different companies for way different prices

    thats what I was told by some friends who work with high powered lasers in labs IR filtering is needed they said for anything 100mW and up if not as low as 50mW to be really safe I also was told that the IR filter will reduce the output by about 3-12% depending on how good the optics are
  20. L

    same products at different companies for way different prices

    yea I was talking about the red lasers, I would like a green one but I understand that I need a IR filter if its a higher mW and I here the cheep ones dont have these - so I will go with red for now
