Seems pretty dangerous. An unaware customer could be using the laser to burn something while wearing their 532nm goggles. Little would they know they had a bunch of IR reflecting back into their eyes.It's been my experience that green lasers are not IR filtered, unless otherwise specified, as a standard.
I think the rationale there is, the green light represents by far the greatest danger, and even the most efficient IR filter does still reduce output somewhat. Not to mention it's an extra component and cost.
Jetlasers TiB for example, are not IR filtered, unless you asked Jetlasers to add one in. Don't know about the other models.
None of my Skylasers were IR filtered either.
