How do you increase the power of a red laser pointer?

Well, I know how, but it's not a good idea as it will make the laser produce more ir radiation, which is not good for you at all. I recomend buying a new laser. techlasers.com is the best, i just bought the 125mW infiniti, and its amazing. Also,you can replace laser diodes inside the red laser pointer,laser diodes are available on freaklasers.com


How do lasers in laser tag work?

When a laser tag phaser fires a shot what you see is a laser beam. The laser beam is for affect only. What scores the actual hit or tag depends on the system in which you are playing )typically it's an IR or infrared signal), much like the kind used in your television remote control. While you are firing an actual laser in laser tag, the actual entity tagging an opponent's pack is typically an IR signal. Agree" sales(@)kitelaser.com The above answer is fairly accurate, however to be more specific, it's not Infra-Red signals that determine whether a tag is scored as much as it is FM signals, much like the frequencies used in radio. Disagree: I know for a fact that pure laser tag, without IR or FM first existed commercially in 1986 and used solar cells as receivers. Why it never really took off until recently I do not know. Laser Runner claims to be the only existing pure laser tag technology: http://www.lazerrunner.com/mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=13&page_id=30

Laser light or infrared in security fencing?

Visible LASER is problematic in that the beam can be seen when refracted/reflected to the eye or a sensor. IR LASER is somewhat more effective, but is also more expensive. LASER based perimeters are themselves difficult in that they yield a huge number of false positives. So any area one needed to protect with a system as pricey and difficult as a LASER based perimeter would need support from other security systems, including a manned response team to check out all those hits.

Are laser pointers illegal in Western Australia?

As far as I can see there was a movement for them to be outlawed in Western Australia but I'm not sure if it was accepted and that they are now illegal. So If anyone can answer my question I'd be much abliged as I'm looking into buying one. Usually laser pointers with a power < 5mw is less dangerous for human eyes. And the laws in most countries don't forbid 5mw green laser pointers and 5mw red laser pointers. The laser pointers with IR filter is even better. You can choose beamq low power laser pointer.
