Hello,
I am new to lasers and don't really know much. I am a VFX supervisor and am interested in using lasers to create a grid of points on a green screen for film/visual effects purposes.
So far I have been using 5 mW green lasers with diffraction grating to give me the desired grid effect. My only problem with them is that the center point is nice and bright but the surrounding points in the grid start to fall off considerably. I need all the points in the grid to be slightly brighter and I was considering switching my lasers to 15 mW. Before I do that, however, I figured it would be smart to come to this forum and ask the experts.
Will a 15 mW laser with diffraction grating be safe to look at the projected grid without eye protection?
Thanks in advance!
