Hello from Cleveland, OH

[Tim71]

Hello everyone,

For the past couple months, my interest in lasers has been growing...exponentially! Although a lot of the scientific details of lasers goes over my head, I still have learned quite a bit, and I find all of it fascinating.

I recently bought a 405 nm Blu Ray laser from HighTechDealz, and have been playing around with it. Now, I have to get some goggles before I go blind.

I look forward to spending hours pouring through all the posts on this forum and soak up as much info as I can. I'm grateful that such a forum exists!

Later,

Tim
