Hello everyone,
I am completely new to lasers and dont know a whole lot about them. I am very interested in the science behind them and want to learn how they work and what it takes to build them. I ordered parts to build a 1w 445 nm laser and should start that in a few weeks. I ordered the parts from DTR and survival laser and also ordered a good pair of goggles (OD4+ 190-540nm & 800-2000nm).
I will create another thread in the right section for when i build it. Could you guys guide me to some good books, videos, or articles i could read to get a better handle on the science behind lasers?
Glad i found this forum :thanks:
Also, i have been reading about IR filters and was wondering if i need to worry about that with my laser.
