Question about IR lasers

[MonsterMan]

Hi,

Does anyone know if there any type of goggles that I can use that will allow me to see an IR laser beam?

Thanks

No. Pick up a pair of NVDs if your budget can support it

Will Night vision goggles allow me to see the IR beam?

 

[Speedy78]

Yup. Depending on the power and how much particulate is in the air.

"SEE" the beam?? afaik night vision will allow you to see what the IR is lighting up
are you asking about how to protect your eyes from the VERY dangerous IR?

Night vision is expensive but there are many cameras that can see what is illuminated by the beam but you wont see the beam itself, there are some videos on YouTube showing this. If you just want to see the dot to focus it there are cards you can buy that show a visible dot from IR. If you just want eye protection then there are safety glasses for IR lasers.
