How far does the blue laser go?

So we return to the question: “how far can I see my laser beam for?” As mentioned there will be many different factors to consider, but here is a basic guideline. 200mW green lasers will be visible for more than 10 miles and blue lasers 1,000mW or more will also be visible for 10 miles or more on a clear line of sight.

Can you get blue lasers?

Blue beams are produced by helium-cadmium gas lasers at 441.6 nm, and argon-ion lasers at 458 and 488 nm. Semiconductor lasers with blue beams are typically based on gallium(III) nitride (GaN; violet color) or indium gallium nitride (often true blue in color, but also able to produce other colors).

Is blue laser visible?

Higher-power and higher-frequency green or blue lasers may produce a beam visible even in clean air because of Rayleigh scattering from air molecules, especially when viewed in moderately-to-dimly lit conditions. The intensity of such scattering increases when these beams are viewed from angles near the beam axis.

Testing Illegal Blue Lasers from eBay (and making them even stronger)



What color laser is the hottest?

It is the mW (milliwatt) specifically and NOT the color which determines the burning and heat rating of any particular laser pointer. So, blue lasers at 445nm and typically over 1,000mW these days are the best suited for burning ability. Offering a high heat index as well as a great visibility to go with it.

Can a laser hit the moon?

The typical red laser pointer is about 5 milliwatts, and a good one has a tight enough beam to actually hit the Moon—though it'd be spread out over a large fraction of the surface when it got there. The atmosphere would distort the beam a bit, and absorb some of it, but most of the light would make it.

Do lasers go on forever?

The light from a laser in space would continue on forever unless it hit something. However, if you were far enough away, you wouldn't be able to detect the light. A projectile would also continue on forever unless it hit something. Lasers produce light that can be tightly focused.
