Pricing Quality IR Goggles

[High_Octane]

I'm building a Laser using a 1000mw 808nm laser diode TO-5 Package, So I feel at that power I must have a proper pair of IR Goggles for protection.
I do have a night vision security camera, that I can use to see the beam, But I still want to be wearing Goggles.

If you know where a good place to get them, Please post that information.

If you have some For Sale, Please describe them with a pic if possible, and what you want for them including shipping to IL. USA.

Thanks

well..at 1 mW................................. ;D

Wooops... Let me clarify that ;D

1MW?

as in capital M?

holy cow. uhh. I have no idea, hopefully someone can help you out!

Sorry to be OT, but 1MW? as in a MILLION watts? With that thing you could burn my house down from where you live!

Back on topic, for a million watt laser, you are gonna need a high high OD rating in the goggles. You can't use regular OD3 goggles, cause at OD3 if you got a direct hit the goggles would let 1000 Watts through. You would need like OD11 goggles or higher for that thing.

Styro - incorrect....SORT of

What wavelength, High Octane ? And what TYPE of device are you talking about - CW, or pulsed ? CO2, YAG, etc ? Spill it so you can get accurate info.

Check up with Pseudonomen137 if he still has some IR goggles.  He sold me a pair of OD3 IR goggles, that were sufficient protection gear for using my 477mW 808nm laser.

Give him a PM, he might still have them for sale, and tell you if those are appropriate goggles for your laser.
(they should be, since OD3 reduces the power of your laser enough to an unharmfull level of a ~1mW pointer, if i'm correct)

If Peusdo doesn't have them in stock, I'm sure he can tell you where to get them.

The only place I know of that makes quality IR shades is NOIR.

Are these any good? Nobody bought them at $24 the last time it was listed. OD6 should be more than enough for 1W but VLT is only 30%

OD:
7@190-380nm / 5.5@750-765nm / 6@766-860nm / 5@10,600nm

VLT: 30%

At the moment I have a very limited stock of goggles and I need them for my IR laser packages. I will contact the person I got them from and see if he can supply more.

Thank You, let me know if things work out.

 

[pseudonomen137]

Okay, I can get a few more, just a little more expensive than last time. If you want a pair of the OD 3+ 804-1700nm Glendale goggles I sell with my IR lasers, it'll be $65 shipped to the US.

You can see the goggles in this picture:
