I'm looking for collimated IR lasers, preferably packaged as "pointers" or "aimers," with a tight collimated beam.
I'm interested in obtaining two different kinds: one weak (class IIIa, under 5mW), and one more powerful (somewhere in the range of 50-300 mW.)
(I'm aware that you can remove the crystals from a green laser, but then you're stuck with the challenge of collimating the beam of the IR diode. And yes, of course I know how harmful IR lasers can be, and of course I'll be complying with safety standards and also all laws!)
