it works on the same principle as an optical mouse..
an optical mouse uses an LED to track it's movements but laser mouse uses laser
The mouse emits a laser beam and then the reflected image is received by the CMOS sensor and sent to the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) .. this cycle happens multiple times in a second .The DSP detects patterns and changes in the images and tracks the movement of the mouse and then sends the coordinates to the computer..
a typical laser mouse is 2X or 3X more sensitive than optical mice
laser mice can be used on any surface as laser reflects off anything
however, optical mice can't be used on shiny surfaces like glass
Solid-state lasers typically have higher power output compared to gas lasers. This is because solid-state lasers can efficiently convert electrical power into laser light, resulting in higher power outputs. Gas lasers, on the other hand, tend to have limitations in power scaling due to factors like gas flow and cooling.
Yes, lasers can work underwater. However, the effectiveness and range of the laser depend on factors such as water clarity, depth, and the type of laser used. Lasers can be used for various underwater applications such as communication, ranging, and imaging.
Infra-red by itself is not dangerous at all. It is around us everyday. But I am sure that you are actually curious about infra-red LASERS. If shined into the eyes, IR Lasers can burn and permanently damage the retinas.
Well i dont think so but you can get arrested if you do something bad with the etc, shine them at aircraft, blind some one and so on ...In general lasers of 1mW or lower power are legal without a license. Lasers of higher power must be licensed, the users have special training, and often automatic cutoff mechanisms must be installed to shut off the laser if someone enters the room. Following those restrictions any laser can be legal.However even with a 1mW laser, don't aim it at a car, airplane, etc. It might briefly blind the driver, pilot, etc. causing an accident that you would be legally responsible for! The laser may be legal but the action isn't.
Comparitively weak ... but only 'comparitively'. Laser pointers are Class IIIa lasers. Their output power is limited to 5 milliwatts, with a beam power density that can't exceed 2.5 mW/cm2 without a "danger" warning label. Pointers are powered by 'button' batteries that last a long time in laser-pointer service. Still, they're capable of causing eye damage if shined directly into an eye for more than a minute.
Amazon and eBay are good places to look for high power lasers. You are unlikely to find one at your local Wal-mart or Lowe's. Dragon Lasers is one example of a high powered laser you may want to research.
There are four main classes of lasers: Class 1 (safe for normal use), Class 2 (low-power visible lasers), Class 3 (medium-power lasers), and Class 4 (high-power lasers). Each class has different levels of potential hazards and safety considerations.
How do lasers work

Yes, there are lasers specifically designed to cut through metal. Fiber lasers and CO2 lasers are commonly used in metal cutting applications due to their high power and precision. These lasers are capable of cutting through various types of metals with different thicknesses.
Some potential dangers of using lasers include eye injuries from direct exposure to the beam (leading to vision loss), skin burns from high-power lasers, and fire hazards if the laser is used near flammable materials. It is crucial to follow safety guidelines and wear appropriate protective gear when working with lasers to minimize these risks.
All three colors of laser light (yellow, red, and green) can potentially cause eye injury if exposure is at a high enough power. The safety of a laser depends on the power output and duration of exposure rather than the color. It is important to follow safety guidelines and use appropriate protective eyewear when working with any laser.

you can't answer this question with out knowing the power of both lasers. If you had two lasers, one yellow the other UV, BOTH WITH IDENTICAL POWER, the yellow laser would APPEAR to be more powerful since our eyes are particularly tuned to see this color. The UV laser would APPEAR to be invisible (i.e. no power) because our eyes cannot see UV light. Keep in mind that one only appears to be more powerful because of the way our eyes work, in reality they both have the same power.
High powered lasers are typically used for various needs such as hair removal, surgery, spacecraft, spectrodcopy and even in investigation procedures.
Yes, they can.
