Apologies for the typical new poster "introduction" coming after a new thread/post in a regular forum!! I've already learned so much reading various threads here and look forward to a new lifelong hobby. I've always like physics and am a physics student, though optical stuff always scared me until recently - I survived my Jackson's E&M classes so nothing scares me anymore! I'm from western NY and live in the midwest right now for school. I have a 532 nm laser (50mW, from optotronics) and a 450 nm laser from Dragon Lasers. That one is 30mW. I have some broad goals in mind for things I want to get and do with lasers, and am in the process of carefully mapping and budgeting that out. And of course, as soon as I knew the power range/wavelengths of my first purchases, I got the glasses from survival lasers (they're great, thanks to the owner, who I know posts here!)
I hope I learn a lot on top of what I already have and can eventually become a contributing member of this community.
