Re: i need another URGENT help about choosing rayfoss handheld.i must reply her
If you want IR to burn stuff, get an IR laser. You buy a green laser to use the green laser light. Green lasers also have a very strong focused IR component to them, in addition to whatever diverges from the end. At 15-20% of your total power, that can be pretty dangerous. What you filter out of the end of your laser you don't have to protect yourself from with your goggles.
Even so, you should find out exactly how much is still IR even after they add that IR filter. The only green lasers I've encountered with sufficient IR cut filters are CNI lasers. My 80mW puts out less IR than even a "filtered" 5mW laser I have.
