Which laser color is brightest?

As a rule, green laser light at 532nm is the brightest laser color to the human eye at the same power. For example, a 200mW green laser will be 5X brighter than a 200mW of red or blue laser and 7X brighter a 200mW purple laser. The color does not matter for burning ability it is only the mW output power.

How far can a 1000mw green 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.

Is green laser brighter than red?

Did you know that a green laser light is ten to 50 times brighter than a red light laser? Green lasers are much more efficient and visible in areas of broad daylight and direct sunlight. They are also able to travel longer distances, which is why they are so popular on construction sites.

What are yellow lasers used for?

The Yellow Laser is the ideal wavelength for Micropulse sub-thresholds laser treatment for diabetic macula edema, CSCR etc. Here, the exposures are as low as 10 milliseconds (for conventional lasers, 100 milliseconds are the lowest duration). This enables laser treatment with no visible endpoint or damaged tissue.

What do green lasers do?

They can be used as pointing devices. The ability to form a continuous line in the dark is an added advantage; this has lead to its usage as rescue lights as it can be seen from miles away. It as been used for laser light shows. It is also used for sky gazing as a person can pinpoint a star by using the green laser.

Can a laser cut a human?

As you could have guessed, 'the effect that powerful lasers have on actual flesh varies both with the wavelength, or color, of the light and the duration of the pulses that they produce. ' But the real finding of these researchers is that lasers cut flesh by creating a series of overlapping micro-explosions.

Does laser color matter?

do the different colors of lasers affect the velocity of the laser light? A: No, the speed of light in a vacuum doesn't depend on the color (i.e. the wavelength or the frequency). The different colors will travel at slightly different speeds through materials such as glass.
