Right on the blue sounds awesome. Does it need a filter like the green? I read that blue uses crystals to make the laser color. So does a 405nM or 473nM it emit IR? I feel a little inexperienced to deal with that kind of stuff at this point.
Hows it goin? I'm pretty new to the forum I've been reading and learning here for a couple of weeks now and I think I'm ready to build my first laser. I'm debating weather to start with a 405nM diode or a red diode. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
So I have noticed that when you choose goggles some are specific to the laser element ( Alexandrite, YAG, DI3 diode, Argon...)
Is this important?
I have noticed that some of the brands like the Dragon Laser Goggles don't tell you.
Okay so the reduction factor is how much laser light the goggles block? Now how do I figure out how much light the laser puts out and how strong of a factor it takes to block it? I read somewhere that if you can see the laser with the goggles they are not strong enough.
Hi. I have a couple of questions.
Where can I find Safety Glasses? I'm having a hard time locating a site that sells them.
I saw the formula to calculate the correct OD but how do I find out the reduction factor of the laser? Does the Class of the laser have anything to do with this?
Thanks...
