Alright, I have a sudden interest in lasers due to a physics class I had. I have recently been looking up all types of articles and videos about wavelength, power and other things concerning lasers. I have also been looking at TONS of different sites such as nova lasers and laser glow. I was ready to purchase a laser, HOWEVER, I recently found that lasers are illegal in the US. SO, I'm wondering if you really CAN'T get lasers in the US, or if you have a small chance of the FDA actually ruining your fun.
Another thought I had was to build a laser, like some other people have suggested on this site. This is a problem because I know NOTHING on how to get the parts, much less how to actually ASSEMBLE the laser.
I am looking for general answers about if lasers are illegal, what you need to build a laser, where to get the parts for a laser and how to build a laser.
I kind of lied in the title of this thread. I'm not TOTALLY new, like I know what wavelengths are what color, what power is high and low, but aside from that, I'm pretty stupid. PLEASE HELP.
