Good idea for information exchange about these incredible instruments.
The first laser I purchased was a Spectra physics, very large enclosure, and output was probably 5-10 milliwatts.....I bought it in 1976, kind of pricey for a low output instrument, but lots of fun.
I have 4 green lasers, 2 red, one yellow.....and one blue, made by a company overseas....great quality, little beam divergence. I still want another...
and I have read something that everyone is likely aware of, that if you illuminate an aircraft with your laser, that you are eligible for 5 years in sing-sing, and a $250,000.00 fine...
I do not know if this applies to the International space station, or the space shuttle....
I have had very good service from, and purchased the lasers I have, from Lasever, in Ningbo city, china, from David, who is a very good friend, and always very helpful with lasers, and offer the best prices I have found. Lasever now has new portable battery powered blue lasers, 50 mW, very stable output, very narrow colimation, very low divergence, 10,000 hr expected average life of the diode.
