It Isn't about voltage, it is about wattage. The amount ow watts the laser is.

10mw can blind someone and 10w can burn through skin. Anything over this is very dangerous and should on be used by professionals

You wonder if high voltage and current can be deflected or reflected and similar to a laser beam from a Free Electron Laser machine?

A laser beam is a form of electromagnetic radiation, in the visible spectrum. At a lower frequency there are microwaves, which can be directed in narrow beams, and can be intercepted by an antenna and then converted back to an electric current. I don't recognise your idea of controlling beams of high voltage however.

How much damage does a 100kW laser do Would it be powerfull enough to stop a tank or shoot down a jet What would happen if it was shot at a solid rock surface or a person?

I know a 4KW gas laser can cut 1 1/4" into average grade steel. Assuming you're refering to this type of laser then 100kw gas laser should be able to cut into about 2 feet of steel. Yikes. Imagine if it were a 100kw chemical laser!!


What plastic is suitable for laser cutting?

Polyester plastics, ABS, PET, PMMA, nylon, acrylic, and many other plastics are good for laser cutting. The acrylic will cut and leave a polished edge if done properly. ABS is a material used in many parts, including automotive components, and cuts and leaves a good edge. Textiles made of polyester or nylon will cut and seal (not fray) with laser cutting. Avoid plastics with carbon in them because they can discolor. For example, Lexan is a brand name for polycarbinate material (same as bulletproof glass). As the name polycarbinate indicates, carbon is a part of this material, and carbon can change color or turn black and sticky when laser cut. Thin polycarbinate membrane material can be laser cut well, but quarter inch polycarbinate typically gives bad results. Avoid plastics like vinyl and PVC because they give off chlorine acid when cut, polyvinyl chloride. The acid will deteriorate the machine and can injure the operator if not exhausted properly. Some plastics were designed for laser use and thus perform exceptionally well. Rowmark makes a line of plastics that are two color laminates for laser engraving and cutting. See the related link for laser cut samples.

A pocket laser runs off a 1.5 volt battery and is rated as 25mW What current does it draw?

That "25mW" specification is the energy of the coherent light radiated bythe laser. It doesn't tell you anything about the power needed to operate it.That number depends on the laser's efficiency.No laser diode is ever 100% efficient. It needs substantially more than 25 mWof battery power in order to radiate 25 mW of coherent light.If it WERE 100% efficient, and it needed no more power from the batterythan what it radiated, thenPower = (voltage) x (current)Current = (power)/(voltage) = 0.025 watt/1.5 volts = 162/3 mA But again, you'll never operate a 25 mW laser on 25 mW from a battery.The real battery current is(162/3 milliamperes) divided by (efficiency of the laser).


What kind of specialized training is needed to use a laser alignment tool?

There is no specialized training needed to use a laser alignment tool. The alignment process has been simplified, and no additional calculations are needed.


What are two safety hazards with dealing with laser printers?

Do cats play with lasers?

Yes, cats will follow and attack the light dot from a hand-held laser. A laser pointer's light spot twitches and shimmers like prey, and a cat will chase it because it acts like something he should try to catch and eat.Be very careful playing with a cat and a laser; it is possible to injure a cat if you get the laser beam into his eye.

How laser displacement sensor can be used to confirm whether an object is moving towards or away from sensor?

Laser sensor gives positive displacement as the object moves away and negative a the object is moving near. In fact the analog voltage output if analysed, shows that the laser gives higher voltage when target object is far from the sensor and higher if it is near.


Why population inversion is needed in laser action?

Population inversion is necessary in laser action because it creates a higher number of atoms or molecules in an excited state than in the ground state, resulting in a larger number of photons being emitted through stimulated emission. This leads to the amplification of light, producing a coherent and intense laser beam. Without population inversion, there would be fewer photons available for amplification, limiting the efficiency and power of the laser.

Can a blue laser diode be safely and effectively connected to a green laser diode driver?

This would depend on the diode's specifications but it would be very unlikely because blue laser diodes require less voltage and current then green lasers.
