If any of you have used a Green Laser how did they work in full

Farther range, more apparent (eye is more sensitive to green).

If you want to check out the wild side, look at
http://www.wickedlasers.com (if they are still around). Oh, my God, they
have 500mW lasers!. Awesome. You can see a 75mW beam all the way at
night, illuminate clouds. Do NOT play sky tag with them. Way overpowered
for use on a projector screen (too much backscatter).

500mW?

At work I program 4kW LASERS. Can't figure out how to mount one on a
pistol, though.


How about a remote controlled turret?

That said, if the laser were deliberately scintillated (wider cone area) to look for the closest object in the cone then the power would be 100's of times lower power, intermittent, random and tolerable - that could slow down the focus time, however as well as reduce the range of the laser in that mode. ... So 2 lasers may be required, one for short range and one for long ...

Any intently concentrated light in those wavelengths aimed directly into the eye is going to affect the eye more than any other wavelength, which is why the warnings came out with green lasers, not the red ones. ... I've experimented with how bright the reflections from 5 mWatt green lasers can get, and how much they can spread, off of various colored and textured walls and glass, and how it affects the eyes, and there is a danger factor of temporarily blinding someone if they're dark adapted to some degree. ...
