The Laser beam you can see with your eyes

A laser is a device that emits light (electromagnetic radiation) through a process called

stimulated emission. The term laser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated

emission of radiation. Laser light is usually spatially coherent, which means that the light

either is emitted in a narrow, low-divergence beam, or can be converted into one with the

help of optical components such as lenses.

The color green is the most perceptible color to the human eye. Green lasers now appear as

ultra bright light sources when compared to other colors of equal power. As an example a 5

mw green laser will appear many times brighter than a 5 mw red laser. A 5 mw green laser

beam (ray) will be visible in low light where a red laser is only visible as the impact point on

the target. A great advantage is that you get this brightness without exceeding the 5 mw

Class3A compliance regulation as required by the FDA. This can also explain why portable

green laser pointers are much more popular among laser lovers all over the world.


Standard classification for lasers

Any laser system that has a power output of greater than 5 milliwatts MUST be registered

with the FDA and Center for Devices and Radiological Health if it has an exposed beam, such

as for entertainment (I.E. Laser light shows) or for medical use (such as surgery) where

someone other than the operator may come in contact with it. (this is called a 'varience' and

I have filled them out and submitted them and they ARE a royal pain in the backside !)

Classification of Power Output for all Lasers

Class I laser product

No known biological hazard. The light is shielded from any possible viewing by a person and

the laser system is interlocked to prevent the laser from being on when exposed. (large laser

printers such as the DEC LPS-40 has a 10mW HeNe driving it which is a Class IIIB laser, but the

printer is interlocked so as to prevent any contact with the exposed laser beam, hence the

device produces no known biological hazard, even though the actual laser is Class IIIB. This

would also apply to CD players and small laser printers, as they are Class I devices).

Class II laser products

Power up to 1 milliwatt. These lasers are not considered an optically dangerous device as the

eye reflex will prevent any ocular damage. (I.E. when the eye is hit with a bright light, the eye

lid will automatically blink or the person will turn their head so as to remove the bright light.

This is called the reflex action or time. Class II lasers won't cause eye damage in this time

period. Still, one wouldn't want to look at it for an extended period of time.) Caution labels

(yellow) should be placed on the laser equipment. No known skin exposure hazard exists and

no fire hazard exists.

CLASS IIIA

Power output between 1 milliwatt and 5 milliwatt. These lasers

can produce spot blindness under the right conditions and other

possible eye injuries. Products that have a Class IIIa laser should

have a laser emission indicator to tell when the laser is in

operation. They should also have a Danger label and output

aperature label attatched to the laser and/or equipment. A key

operated power switch SHOULD be used to prevent unauthorized

use. No known skin hazard of fire hazard exist.

Emits a power level of between 1 and <5 milliwatts (.005 watt).

This may seem minuscule but when contained in a narrow beam

can be very optically impressive being able to illuminate an

object over several miles under dry clear conditions. Observer

visibility can be limited by the curvature of the earth!! These

lasers operate from a push button and require labelling as shown.


http://www.laserto.com/hades-series-blue-laser-pointer.html


Laser pointers fall into this category.

CLASS IIIB

Laser systems emit a power level of between >5 and <500

milliwatts (.5 watt). This power level can produce some real neat

optical effects and is often used for star pointing. The ray of the

laser is usually quite visible dependent on power level and color.

Output powers over 50 milliwatts can burn objects and human

flesh.

CLASS IV

Laser systems emit a power level of between >500 milliwatts (.5

watt) and upwards. These power levels can burn, cut and

fabricate most materials including metals. These higher powered

laser systems are the candidates for directed energy beam

weapons. Class4 lasers require a key switch functioning as

remote control access port, time delay and an aperture shutter.

These can and will cause eye damage. The Class IV range can and

will cause materials to burn on contact as well as skin and

clothing to burn. These laser systems MUST have: A key lockout

switch to prevent unauthorized use Inter-locks to prevent the

system from being used with the protective covers off Emission

indicators to show that the laser is in use Mechanical shutters to

block the beam Red DANGER labels and aperature labels affixed

to the laser. The reflected beam should be considered as

dangerous as the primary beam.

4. The commonest applications of our

handheld laser pointers?

Since lasers were developed, they have had numerous applications in a number of diverse

fields. Listed here are just some of the application for high power laser pointers and portable

lasers. Late applications are available for the World Laser Championships 2009. If you would

like to attend any of the World championships below, please select the link and complete a

Late Application Form.




1. Astronomical laser

With a brilliant beam stretching for miles into the night sky, high power green and red laser

pointers are excellent tools for astronomy. Easy and quick identification and pin pointing

stars and other celestial bodies. No need for difficulties, frustration or wasted time pointing

with your finger or trying to explain. A laser pointer can be used to identify and pinpoint any

object in just a few seconds.

High power portable lasers can also be mounted on telescopes as a visual indicator of where

the telescope is pointing. Portable laser is also ideal for mounting on GOTO

mounts/telescopes to help direct other people with telescopes and binoculars to an object.

With no duty cycle, an on/off switch and very durable construction, a portable laser can be

both conveniently and easily mounted on almost any make of telescope and used by hand.

Red light is scattered less by the atmosphere than green light because red light has a longer

wavelength making green lasers more visible and suitable for astronomy. The light from

green lasers also has the advantage of being the wavelength that our eyes are most sensitive

to.

Most cheap low powered laser pointers are not effective to be used in astronomy. The beam

from these lasers is too weak and easily obscured by ambient light, smog and fog. The beams

from high power laser pointers will easily be visible at night in the worst of conditions with

the higher powered models even being visible during the day. Perfect for dawn and dusk

astronomy.


2. SINGLE/TWINBEAM TARGET LASER

Whilst standard lasers are of a defined wavelength and setting, the Single/TwinBeam laser

meets the increasing demands on target lasers to be of full usage whatever the conditions

require.

The two inserts can be selected from a range of basic laser sources. Each insert can be

independently adjusted in the X and Y axes, making the TwinBeam laser a truly unique tool

for rapid deployment forces and special police units. TwinBeam lasers can be fitted with any

two of the following laser inserts:

Red visible beam

Infrared invisible beam

Infrared invisible beam expanded (for night illumination)

3. Laser Photography

There are many laser photography essentials you can find and refer to online. Lasers are

visually stunning and are used to create very impressive and dynamic photographs. When a

camera is used on extended exposure, a high power laser pointer can be used to draw, make

pictures and create marvelous visual effects.That’s why these handheld laser pointers are so

popular with filmmakers. The proliferation of laser photographs online is a testament to the

popularity of lasers and photography.


For taking basic and intermediate high quality laser photos, the most important item of

equipment is a laser. Laser modules that can be used continuously and are hands free are

ideal and portable lasers such as laser pointers are also good. The power of the laser is not

important and any power level over 1 to 2mW will be enough. The color of the laser is also

not important and mainly a matter of personal preference. Blue lasers are popular for their

beautiful beams.

Lasers and photography is not just limited to lasers pointers and hobbyists. Specialist lasers

with short powerful pulses make high speed photography with exposure time of several

trillionth of a second possible.

4. Aiming devices

As a sports person out for some target practice or a soldier on the battlefield, high power

laser pointers can help you improve your aim and accuracy. With a range well in excess of 10

miles at night, laser pointers will give you the ability to line up any target in visual range.

Even in broad daylight, the green laser dot will be a visible aiming point that can greatly

improve accuracy.


5. Laser dazzler：Non lethal deterrent

A dazzler is a type of a directed-energy weapon employing intense visible light, usually

generated by a laser (laser dazzler). It is a non-lethal weapon intended to cause temporary

blindness or disorientation. The first reported use of laser dazzlers in combat was by the

British, during the Falklands War of 1982, when they were fitted to various Royal Navy

warships in order to hinder low-level Argentinian air attacks. Blinding weapons are banned

by 1995 United Nations Protocol on Blinding Laser Weapons. Dazzlers are not intended to

cause permanent blindness, therefore are thought to be able to skirt this regulation.

6. Laser pointers for Construction/Alignment

Laser pointers can also be found in construction work as an aid to laying pipe, in building

construction for leveling purposes, and in security and police services as an aiming device for

firearms. On construction and building sites, high power laser pointers and portable lasers

are ideal for engineers and site mangers to point out details and features. The laser beam dot

is clearly visible in all conditions allowing the quick and efficient identification of features on

a site. Effectively saving money through the reduction of wasted time and minimizing errors.


Laser pointers are also used for aligning objects over long distances. High power laser

pointers are commonly used by both road construction crews and ground keepers at major

sporting venues, worldwide.

7. Scare birds with an avian dispersal

Farmers, airport ground controllers, pet owners and naturalists all use portable lasers as a

non lethal method of avian dispersal. Lasers have been instrumental in the reduction of bird

strike rates and in effective avian predator management for a number of protected bird

species.

Both laser pointers and portable lasers are used by farmers from various countries to

supplement their avian dispersal programs. By using our lasers, farmers have been able

greatly reduce their cost (rifle or ammunition costs) with zero impact on wildlife and still

adhere to local laws for wildlife protection.


8. Laser shows & entertainment

No rave or dance venue now is complete without a laser show. The same can be said for any

major outdoor event with the Asian games, Commonwealth games, Afro-Asian games and

Olympic Games being classic examples.

Both high power laser pointers and portable lasers can also be used with basic optics to

create similar light shows on a smaller scale. The shows you can do with lasers range in

complexity from a simple star diffraction grating to a more elaborate set ups with

galvanometers and diachronic mirrors.

9. Medical lasers

Lasers in medicine have a wide range of applications range from vision correction and

surgery to wound cauterization and the acceleration of soft tissue healing. In brief, the lasers

used in are divided into two categories, high power green lasers (3000mW to 10000mW) and

low power red and infrared lasers (1mW to 500mW).


High powered lasers are used to cut through tissue and seal/cauterize wounds where as low

level lasers are used to treat injuries and promote healing. Though not designed medical use

and not to be used without medical approval, high power laser pointers and portable lasers

and infrared laser pointers do in both theory and practice have medical applications.

10. Laser Experiments

Lasers can provide you with hours of fun conducting experiments that provide insights into

light, optics, electronics, energy and lots more. Much more beneficial and enjoyable a boring

class room or stale text book.

Experiments can range in complexity from some as simple as popping a balloon (heat

conduction and reflectivity) to as complicated as bending light (wave propagation).

11. Camping/Hiking

Laser pointers and portable lasers are great aids for camping and hiking. There is nothing

worse than being stuck out in the middle of the bush during the wind and rain and with wet

matches and not being able to light a fire. High powered lasers are great for lighting fires.

Lasers with a beam that is visible for miles can also be used to signal for help in the event

that you are lost or need aid.

Lasers can also provide adequate illumination at night that unlike a normal torch will not ruin

your night vision. High power laser pointer are so light and small, you can hike with them in

your pockets and not even notice the weight. The larger laser portable lasers weigh the same

as a small flashlight and can easily fit in your back pack. It's also strong enough to survive the

heaviest pounding and roughest trail.
