Hi guys.
What would be the best way to view NIR light without spending thousands? Specifically 980nm.
Primarily, i want to see the point. It would also be helpful to see where reflections are bouncing if possible.
When i brought my laser i was going to rip apart an old cctv camera and use that, but im trying to avoid that now.
Ive considered several items from edmund optics (i cant post links yet):
Card
Wand
Detection Head
YA Glass T Filters
High power laser beam visualisers
Please could anybody give me some insight into the differences between the above and what i can do and cant do with them? I cant seem to find a good explanation of what each item actually does onlinr.
Does anybody know a cheaper alternative to the hand held IR scopes? I dont mind spending several hundred pounds but £2000 is a bit too much.
Would a simple, cheap, night vision viewer from ebay allow me to see the dot and beam? Or is this a poor method of doing it?
Apologies for all the question, the only answers i could find online were from sites trying to sell me stuff, and there doesnt appear to be anything on this ok youtube.
Thanks
