No ideas?

Hello, I have an idea that probably requires a custom modification to caps for laser pointers. I would like to project bent lines with various degrees of arc. Perhaps different caps dedicated to different arc projections? Of course, different lines projected with different arc degrees using...

Wow, great! That looks promising. Both you and Laser Chick have been very helpful. However, and it may just be graphic differences in color choices, but your signature seems to associate a darker green to the 515nm wavelength vs 532nm. Which wavelength would produce the brightest...

@Laser Chick (or anyone), I noticed in your signature, there are different colors and associated wavelengths. Just for my own edification, am I seeing, granted on a laptop screen, that 520nm emits a more fluorescent green color, whereas, 532nm looks to be more forest green (a bit darker)? I...

You're most right. I had done a lot of online researching, which led me here. In that search, it seems that there are many others who also want laser output visibility in lighted conditions, but I was hoping that my limited range of a 10-12ft line (or dotted line) may be less inclined to lose...

I am trying to develop an idea and I'm afraid there's testing to do in order to find out what works in real conditions. So, I don't want to go overboard testing for a prototype, but the final solution needs to be as affordable as possible. Is a 1mW green laser, meeting my criteria stated in...

I think 5mW would keep that in Class II (correct?) and I don't want unnecessary exposure to the public (who may be nearby). My understanding is the more power it has, the better its chance of being visible in challenging lighting situations, but safety trumps function in my case. Regarding...

Lasers can be awesome! I, however, have a boring need as a newbie here. I am looking for a line laser that has certain capabilities and I hope that this knowledgeable community can help. My needs: 1) class II, green laser, 532nm, 2) between 1 to 5mW (the boring part), 3) can project a...
