thanks guys, ill be safe, I have looked around a lot already, and saw a lot of great projects, I would even take on building my own laser, I have the soldering iron and enough knowledge to make one, problem is the housing, everyone here seems to have the machinery to make their own bodies for...
hey everyone, NYCer here, getting my MS in bio, as a partial scientist, obviously like lasers
i hate essays so ill keep this short, ive only had experiences with low mW 5-30 red and freens, max i ever owned was 100mW greenie, which was too powerful to play with my cat, and too powerful to shine...
i don't want anything that powerful, i was looking around 2-3 W ranges, not a lot of people play with IR don't understand why
I'd love some pictures, i am also curious in night vision capabilities of ~980nm vs ~808nm how do cameras that have no IR protection detect those, maybe even night...
I apologize, I do in fact mean ~405 nm, by UV and I did forget to account for the absorption. I need a minute to think about it.
So.. IR works by making particles vibrate, so... i suppose organic watery objects would be most affected and dry would be more resistant, surface absorption in gray...
which one would burn better and further away a UV laser or IR laser, to avoid specific wattages, the only constant in this question is a price range of $300-400
i've tried digging up some threads, most of them have images uploaded to obscure image hostings that went bust, so if anyone has pics...
Fiddy can you please reupload pictures to imgur, all these crappy unpopular obscure hosting services are lacking revenue to survive, i would really like to see the results of the testing how each shows up on NVG's as well as regular camera with IR filter removed. Particularly curious whether...
Kind of obsessed with golden color, sodium lamps.
I tried searching Sodium lasers, but the only ones I find are the size of a cow, and attached to the very large telescopes used in astronomy.
Can someone help me understand if there are small ones the size of HeNe laser, do they exist? I...
