loving you always ♥
Just a few days back i was playing around with my 532nm green DPSS semiconductor laser which i got for a few tenners well its pretty cheap as compared to the one which i'll be getting in a few months which i'm gonna share with you guys. Well basically this laser has a power output of 10mW so it leaves a beam of laser light along with it. It has a low beam divergence of 0.1mrad(mili radians) Here's some of the videos which i took when i played around with it. Its capable of reaching 10 miles so your definitely attracting much of an attention from far.
So i'm gonna share with you some knowledge about lasers. a 532nm refers to the wavelength of visible light. so for this, its green. The reason why green would appear much more brilliant is cause it falls in the middle of the visible light spectrum, and our eyes are much more sensitive to capturing wavelengths of approximately 500nm-600nm.
The normal pen lasers you see around lecture halls are red InGaAlP semiconductor laser and they are of wavelength 635-660nm. and they are most probably class 1 or 2 laser and the power output is about 1mW or so if i remembered. The one i got is a class3B and is <50mW.
About the earlier part which i was mentioning about getting another laser module. Its actually the hulk ultra 400mW green laser and its gonna cost me a whopping 1000 USD. This can be found here http://www.dragonlasers.com It could pop balloons, light matches, burn stuff and more. Until i figured out how to fixed a diode to a aixiz laser housing and getting diodes out of dvd burners, i'll stick to buying one for now. I was planning to take apart a blu ray player if i ever got to grab hold of it trust me, its gonna be worth the effort if you'd managed to diy a blu ray laser diode :P
