Greetings everyone!
I've read up a bit on some of the focusable options out there, but I'm not sure if I have things clear in my head. As I understand it, a commonly desirable trait of a focusable laser is to focus the beam on a convergent point some distance from the head which allows for burning and such. I'm looking for something different.
I would like to increase the divergence of the beam, making the spot larger when it reaches my target. I realize that after a beam converges on a point, it will then diverge but I don't like the idea of having a point just a few feet or so from me that is capable of getting hot etc. I would prefer to let the beam begin diverging at the lens, where it would never create a point of convergence down range.
If such a thing does not exist, I may have to reconsider, but I'm hoping that some of the experts on this forum can point me in the right direction. Also, I should mention that I am looking for a green laser in the <30mW range.
Thank you!
