The purpose and location of each laser pointer

 Class 1 laser pointer

Depending on the wavelength: approx. 39 µW (blue) to approx. 0.39 mW (red), the accessible laser radiation is harmless under reasonably foreseeable conditions and does not cause eye damage even after prolonged exposure. Even the use of magnifying glasses, lenses, telescopes and other optical means does not work.
Application: Laser Pointer, CD player, scanner
Class 1M: The accessible laser radiation range is 302.5 nm to 4000 nm. The beam emitted by the laser is divergent or widened (ie it is not "spotted"). As long as the beam cross-section is not reduced by optical instruments (rays, focusing), the accessible radiation is harmless to the eye. Area of ​​application: Barcode / barcode reader for supermarket cashiers.
Level 1C: especially for medical lasers (cosmetic applications). No additional protective equipment is required.
Technical measures ensure that the laser can only emit when it comes into contact with skin or tissue and that radiation exposure is reduced to level 1. Scope of application: hair removal laser.

Class 2 laser pointer

GZS = 1 mW continuous wave laser, accessible laser radiation in the visible light range (400 nm-700 nm). Short-term exposure (up to 0.25 seconds) is not harmful to the eyes. Area of ​​application: Rechargeable Laser Pointer, laser level, grid
Class 2M: The accessible laser radiation is in the visible light range (400 nm-700 nm). The beam emitted by the laser diverges or expands (ie, it is not "spotted"). As long as the beam cross-section is not reduced by optical instruments (blasting, focusing), there is a risk as with class 2 lasers. The use of optical detection instruments can cause similar hazards as 3R or 3B lasers. Area of ​​application: the so-called "pattern laser", which is used, for example, to project graphics onto the projection surface.

Class 3 laser pointer

GZS = 5 mW, for continuous wave lasers in the visible range, 5 x GZS class 1 for other wavelengths.
Class 3R: The wavelength range of the accessible laser radiation is 302.5 nm to 106 nm, which is dangerous for the eyes. Class 3R laser devices are potentially dangerous, as is Class 3B laser devices. By limiting the GZS value to five times the level 2 limit value, the risk of eye damage can be reduced.
Used for range: leveling high powered laser, aiming laser (e.g. for military purposes).
Class 3B: Accessible radiation is dangerous to the eyes and normally dangerous to the skin (e.g. if it exceeds the MZB).
Area of ​​application: performance and disco lasers, lasers for cosmetic applications

Class 4 laser pointer

GZS> 500 milliwatt, green light laser pointer. Accessible laser radiation is very dangerous to the eyes and skin. Diffuse reflection of the beam can also be dangerous. Direct or reflected rays cause immediate damage. Laser radiation can cause fire and explosion hazards.
Area of ​​application: Laser cutting or welding systems, research lasers, medical application lasers.

Laser pointers bring the joy of chasing to cats

图片
 Cats also instinctively like to chase and destroy small toys that more realistically resemble mice and bugs. But most stuffed toys are too inert to carry the joy of hunting. However, the feline is aware of hitting the beam on the floor - so, whether it is decisive and agile, it tries to catch it, or it is never within reach. The cat that starts running frantically for the first 15 seconds of the video, then takes a more cautious approach and slows to a moderate pace, ominously glancing at the crimson light. Still, the cat paused for a moment as it stared at the purple spot and prepared to pounce. It stared at the cat who was planning to change tactics and grab the  blue laser pointer  beam out of protection. This laser pointer is the best gift for cats Because cats are such wonderful hunters, they love any toy that gives them a chance to chase their prey. When they see the red dot moving across the floor, their predatory instinct can't help but kick in and entice them to...

How to avoid laser pointer accidents?

图片
 The laser flashlight is a semiconductor laser. The reason why it is different from the 3w laser pointer is that its volume is easier to dissipate heat. The laser module is directly connected to the aluminum flashlight shell to contact the Q-Line fiber green semiconductor laser flashlight. Generally, the flashlight module is relatively thick. Is the eye injury caused by the laser pointer appear immediately or later? High-power laser, direct sunlight with sunglasses or dangerous sunglasses can only block the glare, and the direct heat of the laser will only reduce a little. As long as the eyes are not directed, it will not It will damage the eyes. What does FDA compliance mean? Well, it must have a certain quality and be considered to meet FDA standards. This is because red laser pointer may be "temporarily dangerous" to others and must meet certain criteria to be approved. There are many laser products whose power far exceeds 5mW. Some of them are advertised as ...

Where does the high-quality green laser pointer come from?

图片
 The laser can be emitted in the form of a compact beam that does not become larger at a certain distance from the laser. This means that there may be the same degree of danger near and far away from the laser. When used in winter, the red laser pointer may need to be warmed up for a period of time to reach the best brightness. It can be put in a pocket and then put in the battery. The continuous lighting time should not exceed 1 minute. In order to prevent the laser from premature aging or overheating, causing damage to the laser LD or module. How high is the irradiation point temperature of the laser pointer? In astronomical research, laser enthusiasts or astronomers may use Class IIIa 532nm 5mw green laser pointer for stargazing. This type of laser pointer is widely used by leading astronomy enthusiasts to point at stars, constellations and other celestial bodies. The laser 20000mw is only visible in a very dark operating environment. Astronomical observers do n...
