Laser Pointer Forums - Discuss Laser Pointers | High Power Lasers

I recently got a 405nm laser 301 (I know they aren't very good, but i just wanted something cheap to start on). I have always been interested in lasers, I just never got anything other than a cheap 5mw red pet laser. I eventually plan on building a lower power (less than 500mw) 520nm or a 1.6ish watt 445nm so Ill probably have to ask for help later on in the forums if I can't get enough info from searching around. I should be active on the forum for atleast a while.
