>>lasernigel might be right saying that 200 mW laser power is not too dangerous a few 1000 ft away from the laser source<<
Yeah, maybe that was what he really meant to say when he said "...200mW is not high powered enough to get up to an airplane..."
>>Try a dept of 3 engs with 2 BSc's 1 MSc all in applied physics and laser technology and a total of over 50 years on lasers between us.Good enough??
Either way this should be treated with the seriousness it deserves,and maybe next time you see someone having a giggle pointing a laser at a plane round your way,point a pistol back and see how they like it.<<
He seems more than a little insecure with his own alleged credentials. Or maybe he just forgot his meds again with this nutty pistol talk. Perhaps another teen troll...
Whatever, I agree that even a "low power" low divergence class IIIb laser can be quite dangerous to the dark adapted eyes at less than a mile. The idea that the light won't "get up to an airplane" is utter nonsense.
