Hello everyone. I have been mesmerized by lasers since I was a kid and now that I'm older I would like to fully understand how a laser works and all the safety procedures needed to operate lasers safely. I'm not quite informed enough when it comes to the type of glasses needed for the different wavelength lasers or the difference between the lasers themselves. I am going to jump in and attempt building a blue kit laser from a LPF member. If there is any recommended (idiots guide to lasers) sights/books/reads you could guide me to I would be greatly thankful. Just by reading through this forum I feel too uneducated to participate and want to change that.
Pre thanks
Al.
