I made a perfect 8mmx1mm glass which fits perfectly inside the laser focussing knob and on my 150mW bluray. I sealed it off with a special silicone film which i later cut out when the 8mm window was installed, which leaves a o ring where the edge blocks the window. Then i screwed it on my lens with teflon tape over the threads inside a dry airbag. It doesn't fog up inside, its airtight and watertight, tightened with dry air.
The lens is protected against dust, water, scratches. Since the window protects the lens, i no longer have to clean the lens, the window is much easier to clean and harder to scratch. The only drawback is power loss which is minimal, beam quality is perfect no reflections.
And the awesome thing is, this laser could be used inside water without it being turned into a flashlight, the beam looks beast and aqua color, very visible and bright inside water. Without the glass window, the water would un focus the laser beam. Its very hard to form 8mm glass from 20mm and perfectly round, took me a couple hours to do without chipping or scratching
