Hi there,
I'm new to lasers and just ordered an 150 mW green laser from optotronics (sp?) and am working on building a 125 mW blu-ray laser from scratch. These will both be my first high powered lasers and I was wondering what kind of precautions you guys take when handling them. I release I could blind myself in a second if one shines in my eye, and I'm also a bit worried of someone maybe picking it up and thinking its not very high powered and shining it somewhere where its not supposed to be. Many thanks for suggestions!
