IR Radiation

[t3hcoolness]

IR Radiation confuses me. When exactly do I have to worry about this?

 

[ARG]

You have to worry about it in unfiltered DPSS (532nm, 473nm) lasers.

Or with IR lasers

How do I know if a laser is an unfiltered DPSS?

How do I know if a laser is an unfiltered DPSS?

It should say it in the description of the laser you're buying or contact the seller

lots of people think 405nm, 445nm and 635nm - 660nm have ir but they don't so like it was said above just worry about DPSS or ir lasers :beer:

Hate to change the topic on the same thread, but for this, what kind of glasses would I need?

 

[Wolfman29]

You would need glasses that have an OD rating of 3 or more that specify that they protect from 400-415nm or a larger range

ARG - Blu Ray, Argon, Blue, KTP [NR-ARG-EN207] - $80.50


I would them recommend these 80$ is a low price to protect your eyes.

I'm just guessing the FDA would stop that. over 5mw with no (key, etc) safety features.

Shenzhen is known for getting stopped in customs.

Just a warning.. look into them a bit before purchasing.
