Hi guys,
Thanks for this amazing forum, it has lots of useful information from pros and experts and I really like the color theme too.
I'm living in Iran and I couldn't find a single LPM owner whom I could ask for measuring my laser power output. I have a cheap red 650nm and <5mW (if the label is correct) LASER pointer and I'm curious to know if it's 5 mW or more or at least find the range of its output. What's the best approach to measure its output without using professional instruments and equipment? Like using Arduino and electronics parts.
The device which I'm talking about has also UV LED and flashlight, similar to one of these.
Is it possible to guess its range by looking at pictures of the laser dot on surfaces taken in different environments?
I know the following sentences may annoy many users since it has been asked so many times. I accidentally reflected the laser dot off my monitor's glossy black bezel into my left eye. I don't feel any serious problems in my visionary but it feels better to know what was the real power output for the sake of piece of mind! So this is one of the reasons for my curiosity![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thanks.
