This is more difficult than you think
Hi,
You better check on Your research,
bought my own cheap China Laser and did some tests regarding openingangle. After that I gave the laser away to a University, where measurements were made. Result was, more Watt than advertized, big part of infraredspecteum, which you cant see but will harm the retina and you better fly at least 3000 feet agl or higher, to prevent injury on unknown lasers.
