Mix Infrared and visible green Laser...

[MattAngel]

Hi everybody,

I am quite new in Lasering and would like to know what
will happen if one set up a typical DPSS green Laser without
any filters.

I guess it will result in a mix of 808, 1064 and 532 nm ?!?

Will the final optics be able to collimate this "mix" or will
only the green be focussed and the IR-light will escape??

I wonder if it is possible to create a Laser of a total power of
lets say 500mW, where the green-power is only 5 or 50 mW..

To say, green will act as a pilot-laser and the real power comes
from Infrared...
Just for cutting things, I guess this might be the perfect solution
(if Physics does not bless me

A green DPSS laser pointer has just one IR filter, removing it would result in a total output increase but it would not be possible to collimate both 1064 and 532 wavelengths at the same time. I do not know if 808nm is involved in the output increase. Read the post concerning the IR pointer.
Surgical lasers use a visible guide laser and IR laser. There is a post made here recently, it shows how a green DPSS works.
