Does a green laser pointer stop working when it is cold? Or does it turn into an invisible laser? That is nice to know for safety reasons if you are using a green laser pointer to point out stars on a frost-clear night.
And what about those decorations lasers for your garden? Are they safe at a freezing winter night? Time to find out in this video!

IT seems to me that as this is a safety issue, that laser pointers should possibly be banned altogether, along with these "star" generators for Christmas and other uses. I can see no real purpose in every day use beyond some "convenience uses. There is not even a good cause for use as sighting devices for pistol and rifle. There are other devices that give just as accurate or more accurate firearm alignment. Regardless of "splitting" the beam into hundreds, that relies on a diffraction plate which can be damaged or come loose or fail.

Intersting. I've got two of the green 5mW pointers like you show here. One functions correctly. With the other, it appears that the green lasing went out on it; not sure if it is due to a misalignment or whatever, but you can see inside the bezel that there still is some activity going on. Not sure I would have guessed it could still be lasing in the infrared spectrum, but I've seen enough here that I think I am going to permanently disable it.

@kashphlinktu Год назад

The, “tool” was just a glorified push-pin that went in your standard manual eject hole. Difference being, there was no tray or front-flap to stop the disc from firing out when you shoved the pin in when it was spinning away at 32x while doing say, a large file transfer. If you pointed it away from yourself, it became a formidable weapon at medium range. Kinda like my tower was a cannon.

Yes, I bought one of those "5mw" lasers at a gift show when I was younger. Was v bright, and could even see the beam quite well. Dont know how many mw it really was. Quite scary in hindsight.

@travcollier 2 года назад

@@memejeff No. Condescending would be pointing out that you have apparently low reading comprehension skills and an immature habit of interpretating statements in the worst possible way (even when other interpretations are more obvious). :p Seriously though... What I wrote was clearly self deprecating ("old fart") and basically amounts to "don't be as dumb as we were" along with an implicit but obvious dig against the common "in my day we did X and I turned out OK" BS. So, yeah, *woosh*

The first diode laser I used was cooled by liquid helium and the experiment software I wrote for it drove a heater underneath and read the resulting spectrum after it passed through a CO2 sample. Thus, this isn't much of a surprised to me. As to the heater, in the yard decoration, I'm surprised they didn't spend an extra fifty cents and keep the laser off until it was up to temp. Oh, the grand profits they must have reaped.

@IkBenBenG 3 года назад

@@fandyus4125 No, they never used lasers. The IR LEDs they use are much less harmless than a laser as the light is much less focused (if it was focused, you'd have to aim it precisely at the receiver). Before IR LEDs they used (mainly ultrasonic) sounds to transmit the signal, or in rare cases radio waves. Some modern remotes use bluetooth. All those technologies are completely harmless.

TV remote IR LED's are diffused, so they will not concentrate their IR energy in a highly focused beam. Unless you all but touch your cornea with the center of the LED capsule, no worries. Looking at the emission end of a TV remote is harmless.

Ahh, so the cold temperature is affecting the optical doubler (which doubles the frequency and cuts the wavelength in half). When it warms up, then the optical doubler starts working again.
