What makes green lasers the BEST lasers?

Green lasers have both advantages and disadvantages. For safety reasons I have so far focused on telling about the possible infrared leakage from some types of green lasers. To a point where it seems like I wouldn't recommend green lasers at all...
But I do! They have a big advantage that makes them awesome and maybe even safer to use than other lasers: lumens. I explain how in this video.

The infrared light is simply due to a pile-up effect in the detector, so there is no infrared light coming from the laser. It occurres when two photons are counted within a single detector frame. It is particularly noticeable at higher intensities of light.

[@brainiac75]

Thanks for the input. I think you are right. Another commenter mentioned that the 2nd order diffraction of the 522 nm will overlap the 1st order diffraction of 1044 nm. The spectrometer reads it as 1st order infrared... I even mention something similar in my previous but didn't think of it. Still needs a little further investigation since I do not remember seeing any false reading of 2nd order when testing the 1.5W 446 nm Arctic. Would think this would be bright enough to do the same. But maybe I was not pointing the spectrometer's sensor directly at the Arctic's dot. At a lower brightness reading, the 2nd order will be too weak to be picked up by the spectrometer.

[@AlexA-hm6kj]

@@brainiac75 That's correct; internal diffraction grating within spectrometer is producing 2nd order diffraction of the input beam, thus the internally 2nd order diffracted beam falls in the same position on the CCD as would a 1st order 1044. It's not necessarily brightness that does it as you're coupling through a fibre, it's more likely due to how the intense light actually illuminates the internal grating; presumeably there is a slit within the diffractometer which should help with that.

@@AlexA-hm6kj big brain

[@Speeder84XL]

@@brainiac75 It most likely have to do with the cross section area of the beam as well - since the light intensity hitting the sensor, is not just dependent on output power. Some pointers have wider beam than others and thus have a less concentrated beam (but the good thing is that such a beam has less divergence and can also be focused enough to burn stuff, further away with the same output power, haha). You could try to focus both lasers to a small dot before measuring them - and see if the problem increases. It should do, if it's intensity related. Just be careful to not damage the sensor (since light intensity will be extremely high in that focused dot)

Only a laser that can not pop balloons (not even black ones) can be considered safe for household use (including foreseeable misuse as child/cat toy). Please add this to your safety guidelines. That's why all those cat igniters (cheap illegal laser pointers) in fancy colours are so problematic. The horrible invisible IR of cheap green pointers that makes people stare into them at cold (where the visible light disappears) is only one part of the problem. That blue lasers nowadays are sold overstrong to visually look as bright as green ones is definitely irresponsible. (Do you smell all those cats set ablaze...) Please analyze now those Chinese tiny starfield projectors (size of a laser pointer but with USB cable) sold for 5$ at eBay. They have a grate with static starfield beam and exist in green (likely with IR) or purple colour with optional screw-on lenses to change the pattern. They are even described as "lamps", not lasers - possibly to avoid regulations. I suspect both to be fairly dangerous to use.

[@yamahantx7005]

The IR signal is likely an 'artefact' from the spectrometer. If I detect a signal at 1000nm, all I know is that there is light at either (1000nm, 500nm, 333,nm, 250nm, etc...). Measure the spectrum with and without the IR filter. If the 1044nm peak persists, it's 522nm diffracted to 2nd order. I've worked with many 532nm DPSS lasers of high quality ($10k+) and they all operate on the same principle. An 808nm laser diode pumps an ND:YAG crystal. This generates the 1064nm beam, which is frequency doubled with a crystal to emit 532nm. Typically, 532.3nm. Your laser appears to be of a different construction.

[@MrBleulauneable]

I was about to suggest the same about the peak being a second order diffraction coming from the spectrometer itself.

[@brainiac75]

Hm, you may be right. I'm still new to using a spectrometer. I just don't remember seeing a peak around 892 nm when I measured the 1.5W Arctic 446 nm blue laser in an earlier video. Wouldn't that happen if the spectrometer has a 2nd order overlap from very bright sources? But a 2nd order overlap sure makes more sense than half-harmonic generation somewhere in the setup. The shown laser uses a direct-diode laser (diode: Nichia NUGM03) - not a DPSS type. Thanks for watching and maybe explaining the odd peak. Needs further testing :)

Something that I have been wondering about is how safe are green laser levels are, I would like to know how powerful they are and if there is any IR leakage. Love your content! Keep up the good work!

[@aisawaloki1571]

Common 532nm(±10nm)laser pointers are DPSS laser pumps from 808nm infrared laser(808→1064 and then frequency doubled to 532, the original 808nm is usually from laser diode, but theorically can by any laser source), thus there are always be some original 808nm leaked. But if this stuff uses native green laser diode(520~525nm), no infrared would be possible to leak.

[@n-steam]

I have no idea about the second IR peak, but I would try a different surface to target it at. It may be not all reflected light is returning as the same wavelength. No idea if you already know, but when an atom absorbs a photon, the electron jumps to a higher orbit and then falls back down releasing a new photon with the same energy. If the photon energy is high enough it will jump up several levels, the electron can then make two (or more) smaller jumps back to its ground state, reflecting longer wavelength photons. Green probably isn't a high enough energy photon, but I suppose it ultimately depends on what the target surface is made out of.

[@brainiac75]

Thanks for the input! Fluorescence can not be ruled out, but I've received a tip, that it may be a 'false' reading. It may be the 2nd order of diffraction of the 522 nm light. Makes perfect sense the more I think about it. Needs further testing though since I didn't spot any 2nd order from the very bright 446 nm 1.5W Arctic laser in a previous video.

[@AerialTheShamen]

Blue is the most dazzling colour because it is scattered most (beam bounces around) inside the eyeball. That's why bluish LED car and bicycle headlights are much more dangerous tonight than traditional halogen.

[@SoulFoxie]

I guess 175-190 Lumens but that could be well below my doubtful back guess in my mind over 315 Lumens

[@clarkcowan3984]

It is likely your reading equipment is reading an overtone that doesn't exist. Our ears do the same with sound. Two tubas playing the same note very cleanly will clearly create multiple overtones in what is heard. Those higher notes are not actually being played, however our eardrums still perceive extra octaves. Same process as electrical vibration.

Mike is a powerful red laser I wanted to old school 🏫

[@jacobellinger8027]

I suspect the material you had the Lasor shooting at was getting excited and emitting infrared?

[@brainiac75]

That could happen if the laser heated it to almost glowing hot. But I expect it would be a broader band in the infrared - not a tight peak. I think another commenter solved the mystery: 2nd order diffraction of 522 nm light is in the same place as 1st order diffraction of 1044 nm. So the spectrometer thinks it sees infrared, while it's just an extra, internal diffraction of the very bright green light. No infrared there. Thanks for watching!

That's shot on my newest main camera, a Sony FDR-AX700. It has three build-in ND filters. Very useful for filming lasers :) Glad you like my videos. The shown luminosity function is for our photopic vision. That's our color vision under well-lit conditions. Our night vision under very low light - where we can't see colors - is called scotopic vision. Our scotopic vision is most sensitive to a bluish-green 507 nm light. Not a big difference but worth considering ;)

I work with and sell pipe lasers that are green for this very reason. But that's our eyes... The lux meter... Why is it showing a drastic increase in brightness? That I don't understand. I mean I don't really know how a lux meter works exactly. I know what it's for, But is it supposed to like mimic the human eye or something?

[@Soul12000]

Thats so interesting ! Is there a similar value for which frequency our ears are most sensitive to ?

[@alexanderthomas2660]

Actually there is. If you search “Equal-loudness contour” in Wikipedia, you will see a set of curves that all have a minimum around 3 to 4 kHz, which means our ears are the most sensitive around those frequencies. The actual frequency depends on the intensity of the sound and other factors like age or just differences between persons. My guess as to why it are those frequencies, is because they are important to understand speech. I only hear up to about 2kHz with one ear, and understanding people with only that ear is extremely difficult.

[@noahm4601]

Good question. Green light is the most common light in the typical human habitat, there's probably a sound frequency that's more common than others

[@UneasiestDaisy]

so is that why OLED TVs use green instead of yellow??

[@L9X]

Kinda? The human eye can detect only 3 bands of colour: red, green and blue, which is why we use RGB for displays and projection. However, for printers and paint we use Cyan, Magenta and Yellow (CMY), because when you mix physical pigments together (like paint) the result is darker than the original, so instead of adding to black to get our colour (like RGB light), we subtract CMY from white (our white paper background) to get our colour.

[@eilandihis4696]

about lasers..... It may be (it IS by the way) dangerous but what could happen when, in a safe location, you combine all of your lasers with an optic? or into a single point? what if this beam meets a magnet?

[@KnotRight4Ever]

I think all headlights should be green, blue is the longest wavelength of visible light and yellow light is the least blocked by particals (that's why fog lights are yellow) so u blend them together and that's why green light travels further than blue light in real world environments. I also think blue headlights should be banned, even though they look nice blue light is the worst for are eye's because of the long wavelength. Side thought It's funny we use red for stop and green for go because of are feelings of what the colors represent but for visibility and safety logic it should be the opposite and I still don't understand why the passing lane on a multiple lane freeways don't have a higher speed limit than the slower or exit lane it should have It's own speed limit 10mph faster that would make roadways work smoother.

[@jhrlasers]

Hoho, you should check those things by Kvant, their RGBY version instead of this crap tho 🤣

[@jhrdailies]

@@jhrlasers Oh Sh!t Yeah, I've checked that out, Those units are Mosntourous Insane!!! Like STAGGERING 🤯🤯🤯🤯😳😍🤩❣

3 lumens

[@JackAtlass]

i was wrong

[@toasterbagel78]

[@adnanmlivo5885]

It's not 3 roentgen it's 15000

I've heard terrible things about Wicked Lasers 🤔

[@حسام777-ت4ظ]

ههه !؟

[@stmounts]

IMHO the 'true blue' lasers look the best (not the cheap violet-blue crap ones).

[@davecc0000]

Can u give a link to one of the true blue ones you like?

[@brainiac75]

The 445-450 nm lasers do have an annoying tendency to appear more violet than blue. But gotta love their high power output at a low cost. A blue 473 nm DPSS laser is high on my wishlist. True blue and very good beam specs. But the price per mW... ouch. Thanks for watching!

[@Gfgte]

i think 500

[@Gfgte]

omg i gest

A sciene channel otherwise wouldn't the answer be in the thumbnail👍

[@MajWinters100]

YES!!!! I actually guessed 500 lumens. jahahahahahaha

It’s because green = money

[@brainiac75]

Not in Denmark. Our banknotes are not green :) Thanks for the fast watch!

[@appletrump]

Brainiac75 most notes here in Australia are also not green. I guess it’s just been generalised that green means money

[@aarongreenfield9038]

Green is the most sensitive to the human eye, and they generally just look badass.

[@brainiac75]

I still remember my first green laser. A weak 10 mW. I was so surprised to see the beam in mid air without the need for smoke etc... Not something I was used to from the

[@aarongreenfield9038]

@@brainiac75. I have a similar story, but I jumped in on the other end of the spectrum, With a 100 milliwatt Green laser from wicked lasers, the damn thing cost $500 at the time, But I quickly learned How to handle and respect them. you have to basically treat them as you would a firearm. Now you can get 100 Milly's for $10 or less all day.

You sound Danish :)
