Hello Fellas, I can already anticipate where most of y'all will fall on this discussion, but I searched for a brand name on this site and found nothing, so I thought why not spark up a discussion on the subject? I've always been a fan of scanning lasers, used at events and concerts. They can...

Some of you may have seen this, but here's an interesting video showing someone at a music festival pointing a presumably lowish powered laser at a police helicopter. YouTube - Green laser pointer shone at police helicopter

Check this out. A guy was filming a concert with a dSLR when the scanning laser directly hit the camera's sensative sensor frying a part of the chip. Make sure this doesn't happen to you! I wonder how many mW that laser is pumping out. Laser Light Show Burns a DSLR Sensor

Check this out guys. Sony and Tohoku University announce a new laser allowing for more blue ray storage. It's a 405nm laser that has acheived an output of greater than 100W! And people were worried about the 1W 445nm... I'm sure this tech is still a ways out from getting to consumers hands...

The US Navy has tested a laser to be equipt on all ships eventually which has the power to shoot down enemy planes. It's actually 6 lasers and an advanced targeting system which aligns the beams to a single spot on the aircraft until it is brought down. There's a crazy video over at gizmodo...

So we're all aware that powerful enough lasers can heat and burn solids. But what about liquids? Lasers usually penetrate water with little distortion or energy loss right? So what about other, more dense liquids. Or what about liquids with a high volume of suspended solids. If you make a pulp...

Let me start off with a quick intro. I love lighting, I do a lot of theatrical lighting, but concert / DJ lighting is where my real passion is. I'm just started to get into lasers, and I'm thinking about starting to build my collection. I'm looking for some good scanning lasers, DMX control is a...

Anyone ever check out what happens when you point a laser through a large SLR camera lens? Many high end lenses have dozens of optics inside the barrel which could really do some interesting stuff to the beam. You could also in theory point a laser through the view finder on an SLR, then focus...
