IR 808nm lens/color help.

[Edi]

I have a 300mw 808nm laser diode w/driver and this lens:
660nm/808nm Glass Collimating Lens/M9P0.5 Metal Frame - eBay (item 260724564678 end time Jun-18-11 05:24:39 PDT)

I looked at vids and pics and everyone has a pinkish dot but I have a dim red dot. do I need a special lens or something to make it a pinkish color? where can i get one?

Be Very Careful, its not really "dim" at all. Your eyes just can not see 808nm well.
300mw can seriously & permanently damage your eyes. Do you have laser googles for 808nm?
Even reflections that you can't see can do damage.

The pinkish dot in videos is just the way it shows up on most cameras. Its "dim" red in real life.
Your seeing the real color. You can't get the pinkish color except on camera.

Don't point it at anyone or use it near anyone, you don't want to get arrested.
