Green laser pointers are significantly brighter about 60 times than a red laser pointer and because of its

unusual color it is much more noticeable. A 532 nm green laser wavelength is obviously superior to a laughable 650 nm red laser wavelength. And unlike a red laser, the green beam itself can be seen in mid-air in dark conditions, not just the laser beam dot. The green laser beam dot can be seen at much greater distances than with a red laser pointer. Since green direct injection laser diodes aren`t readily available, this pointer is based on the use of Diode Pumped Solid State Frequency Doubled DPSSFD laser technology. A high power IR laser diode at 808 nm pumps a tiny block of Nd generating light at 1,064 nm which feeds a KTP intracavity frequency doubler crystal to produce the green beam at 532 nm.

Green Laser
Green laser is a gas laser using mercury and argon it generates a green beam at the wave length of 5225 angstrom that is more powerful than traditional red laser. A traditional red laser is commonly used in various purposes like surgery, astronomy, and in sea, while green laser is especially used in astronomy and in the sea water to discover the tiny thing. Green laser produces a long tiny green beam that reaches very far beyond the dust and fog thats why it is used mostly by the amateur astronomers. Emission and Characteristics Laser beams are omitted from the laser diodes. The process of generating green beams are more complex than traditional red laser beam. Green laser omitted in the column form called as collimated. Lasers are emerged from various diode models applying different methods depending upon the wavelength and color. For generating green laser Mercury-Argon diode is required. Special crystals filter and focus the light to get it. It is omitted in the dotted from and create a green collimated beam. Green laser have more energy than traditional red laser because it has 5225 angstrom or 532 nanometer wavelength while traditional red laser has 650 nanometer wavelengths. It reaches

very far and can be able to find a very small spot from very far. It can travel beyond the cloud and hillside area with more efficiency. Usage and Advantage Green laser are more visible because of it color spectrum. Green color is closer to the center of visible spectrum. Green laser is 50 times brighter than traditional red color laser, that why it is highly suited in the dark. It looks much clearer in the darks so the amateur astronauts and sea dippers use it for the clearer visibility. It can also hit the target across the clouds and can travel in the hills up to 9000 ft. Disadvantage High power laser beam is generally used for the astronauts. They used 5 miliwatts power of laser gun, if it is used on the eye of any person for only few milliseconds, the retina of the eyes will be burnt within this time period. So laser beam is highly hazardous if it is not used with precaution. All the green laser having power of more than 1 milliwatts are dangerous. So must use it with full care.
