So driving a laser with a pulse train signal will only reduce apparent brightness? What uses does reducing apparent brightness have if a microsecond or two is enough to cause permanent damage to someone's vision and doesn't actually add any layer of safety?

Hi everyone, Does anyone have any good resources for the benefits of driving a laser with a PWM signal? I'd like to know if pulsing the laser will increase the operating time and reduce the rate at which the diode heats up, but I don't have any resources to see just how much of an improvement...

Hi everyone, I recently picked up this laser in the link below: a ~1.5 [w], 445 [nm] laser that I'm driving with a lm2941. 1 5 2W 445nm Blue Diode in Module w Leads Aixiz Glass | eBay I also picked up a pair of goggles from safetyglassesusa.com. LSI Laser Safety Glasses with Filter 110 The...
