Hey everyone. I recently starting gaining an interest in laser and found this crazy site. All the information in one place, can't get better than this. Just wanted to say Hi and can't wait to learn more.

Thanks,
Brian

Will do. Quick question I am looking to purchase these safety glasses:

Amazon.com: Uvex S1933X Skyper Safety Eyewear, Black Frame, SCT-Orange UV Extreme Anti-Fog Lens: Home Improvement

I know they are great at protecting against blue lasers but how well are they against green?

Woot woot, chalk up another one for Chi-town. I have a pair and they block green a little, but not enough to keep you safe from up close burning or reflections from a green.

Alright Thanks.

What kind do you use for your green lasers?

Alright Thanks.

Welcome to the forums! Regarding your question, Have a look on eBay for "Eagle Pair" goggles, You can get them for the specific green wavelength and they are great. I use them. They'll block blue, and green.

Jeez, so many laserists in Chicago and now I'm moving. Welcome dude :wave:

Alright Thanks.

I really only use my greens for star pointing and things you really don't need goggles for, but when those nice 1W green diodes finally come into use I'll definitely buy these.
Visible : ARG - Blu Ray, Argon, Blue, KTP

Since they are rated OD-7 for 532nm. The only burning I do is with blues and I've been using blublocker Vipers which are actually really good, better IMP that the linked Uvex goggles.
