ThinkGeek Red/Green Laser

Dual Ended Laser that gives you red and green!!!

This pointer is significantly brighter (about 50 times) than a red laser pointer and because of its unusual color it is much more noticeable. I mean come on, a 532 nm green laser wavelength is obviously superior to a laughable 650 nm red laser wavelength. And unlike a red laser, the green beam itself can be seen in mid-air in dark conditions, not just the laser beam dot. This allows the green laser pointer to be used for pointing to star constellations (skypointing) and also just generally look cool as hell. The green laser beam dot can be seen at much greater distances than with a red laser pointer.

Since green direct injection laser diodes aren't readily available, this pointer is based on the use of Diode Pumped Solid State Frequency Doubled (DPSSFD) laser technology. A high power IR laser diode at 808 nm pumps a tiny block of Nd:YVO4 generating light at 1,064 nm which feeds a KTP intracavity frequency doubler crystal to produce the green beam at 532 nm.

We will be bringing you a full review of this laser shortly. A discount for Techwarelabs readers may become available shortly. In the meantime, check out ThinkGeek.

Sweet laser. I own a 75mW green diode laser called "The phoenix" It goes about 30+ miles and can light a match and burn dark surfaces.

Its very interesting and if you think you'd be interested you can check out the site i buy my lasers from. www.wickedlasers.com However ill warn you now their pricey!

Those are cool lasers, I've been wanting one of the executive ones, but I didn't think any of their lasers were legal in the U.S. I thought that they weren't allowed to be over 5mW peak?

[Ferocity]

Yeah, >5mW (Milliwantts) is usually the max output for most areas. However some states dont have laws on lasers/over powered lasers. Im not exactly sure what the law is for my area on lasers so i keep my hidden, and only use it in secure/unpopulated areas, Beaches/my yard exc. Ive heard way to many stories of people losing theirs because cops take them.

[vee_ess]

It's a federal law, so if you are in any state in the U.S., it's illegal.

All that talk about buying laser pointers, can' t resist adding my own reply.

Wickedlasers come with a high price and are great. Good warranty, service etc.

My business sells the same laser pointers as wicked. A comparison of the shell will show this. To be honest i can't offer the same service as wicked but i can offer much lower prices. Check out my website at www.glpchina.com and/or email me at aussiewholesaler@glpchina.com if your interested.
