I understand IR has very different properties from light in the visible spectrum, so I have a few questions regarding what is required to build one:
+What power level diode can I expect from a CD burner? DVD burner? 5mW green?
+What wavelength do CD and DVD burners use? Is it the same as the 808nm used in pointers?
+What kind of optics are required to collimate the beam?
+Where can I find the least expensive, but most effective for price, IR eye protection?
+Is the time and money worth building an invisible burner?
Thanks...
