Most envy the owners of a green laser pointer due to the simple fact that they are quite less common than the red, giving owners the definite, “Where did you get that cool toy?” In addition, the green laser pointer beam is clearly distinguishable from red beams, whereas the red can be mistaken for one produced by the common hunting accessory resulting in embarrassing misunderstandings. But these mentions of accident and vanity do not address the main point of owning a green laser pointer; it simply works better.

So, what exactly distinguishes a green laser pointer from a red (other than the obvious difference in color?) Star Wars fans have often wondered if there was a great discrepancy between Yoda’s light saber beam and Darth Vader’s. Well, a green laser pointer projects a DPSSFD beam at a wavelength of 532 nm. That’s 50 times brighter than a red laser pointer, which usually beams at 650 nm.) Also, the red laser pointer beam requires a simple internal laser diode on a circuit; the green laser pointer matrix is far more complex.

Not only does the green laser pointer require a laser diode, it also bounces the resulting beam to an internal crystal which has been micro-coated with Neodydium, a rare earth metal typically used for magnets. That beam is sent to a coated crystal of KPT Potassium Titanyl Phosphate. All tolled, that’s a lot of lab work, and very few labs are actually growing the synthetic crystals needed to make the green laser, but the result is well-worth the manufacturing effort.

Buyer Review:
June 2008 Ursula – Philiphine
I feel much grateful to Laserto.com, and I am a Filipino, military, and never had any credit card, much less the paypal. But I wanted to buy the Sheol series 350mw green lasers So I tried out the phone number on the site, and was friendly recommended to use the westunion to finish the payment, though I never heard about West Union before either. After the thoughtful and detailed explanations on how to place the order this way, I finally realized that I have such easy access to buy any product on-line. I placed the order in the westunion office closest to my home, and mail the code to the their customer support, and they just tracked the shipping laser for me, and I feel warmly welcomed and treated. More importantly, the powerful laser just met our needs for military use, and I also got “thanks” from my superiors.

At first, the idea of buying a 400mw green laser is more of following the trend. When you see your pals holding such a gadget every night pointing at the star and toying with the cats,it’s natual that you want one too. But since I bought from laserpointerpen.net, I begin to realize it can be used in much more ways except as a presenter and cat toy.It’s powerful enough to “shoot” a balloon, and using it to light the match is really a exciting experience, though the more powerful, the shorter time it’ll take.
