Hello
I am importing lasers, I have found a manufacture (that I am not going to mention) I have a couple of samples from them a 20mW and a 50mW the lasers are the same as the ones from this post http://candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=118864
When I tested the 20mW lasers with my energy concepts laser power meter it tested to be about 15mW normal.
When I tested the 50mW laser it came out as -8mW (that's right negative)
If I shine ir in to the meter it comes out as negative, So I am assuming that this laser is putting out more ir than 532nm light.
I had the optics from another laser and I took the ir filter out of it and put it in front of the 50mW laser and tested it again. I read 23mW.
The <50mW beam looks brighter than the <20mW and the <50mW will burn through a black rubbish bag in less than one second.
Has anyone got a laser meter and tried shining some ir in it from the laser before it shines through the kpt?
Any comments or help would be good as I don't want to sell lasers that are putting out dangerous amounts of ir
2x lasers with ir filter
