Resources on Lasers and Laser Products
We want to be your number choice for information on lasers and laser products! Our company houses some of Asia's finest laser technicians and have more than 100 years of combined experience in this field. It would be a shame to waste this resource. Therefore, this section is dedicated to offering our visitors concrete information on lasers and laser products. This information is especially useful for visitors looking to purchase a laser for personal or professional use. It covers laser basics to more completed theories behind how lasers work.
Laser Applications - We often get emails asking about the uses of our high power laser. Here are some uses of our laser products and how our lasers have helped companies and individuals over the years.
Astronomy Lasers - Laser have become an essential tool for astronomers worldwide. See which laser are suitable for astronomy. See what laser color and power output is ideal for star pointing and star parties.
Burning Lasers - Our high power lasers are infamous for its ability to burn, light matches, pop balloons, etch leather, and much more! See our burning lasers in action and get tips on improving your laser's burning abilities. Note we only show thisour lasers lighting matches and popping balloons as an example of their burning ability, we do not recommend purchasing our high power lasers as toys.
Military Lasers - See how high power lasers are being used in the military today. SKYlasers has been involved in laser diode production for some of the world's largest defense contractors. Our laser modules are being used in the field and have also been purchased for weapons testing and prototype projects.
Beam Diameter - Learn about your laser's beam diameter and see how it can affect the performance of your laser.
Calculating Beam Divergence - The beam divergence, measured in mRad or milliradians, is the change in a laser's beam diameter relative to distance. This guide offers precise instructions on measuring your laser's beam divergence.
Visible Lasers - Simply put, visible lasers are lasers you can see with your eyes. Learn the types of laser diodes used to produce various types of visible lasers.
Power Output - What is mW? - We get questions about power output on a daily basis. This guide can help you decide which power output is suitable for your needs.
How is Power Output Measured? - The power output is a laser is measured using a laser power meter.
Comparing Laser Brightness - See visual representations comparing the brightness of various laser models. For example, you will find pictures comparing the brightness of a 35mW green laser to a 75mW green laser .
Green Laser Capabilities - See what our green lasers can do!
What is Wavelength? - What is wavelength and how does it relate to your laser? What does "nm" or "nanometer" stand for?
What is Frequency? - Frequency, measured in Hertz (Hz), is the number of times a wave repeats itself within 1 second. What does this have to do with your laser ?
Diode Pumped Solid State Lasers - Our green lasers are considered DPSS lasers. Learn more about diode pumped solid state lasers and discover how a green laser beam is emitted from our green lasers!
Infrared Filter - Are IR filters really necessary when purchasing a green laser ? Find out what an infrared filter looks like and what exactly it is used for.
The Physics Behind our Lasers - See how lasers work! BEWARE, the information contained in this section is quite complicated...
Electromagnetic Spectrum - The electromagnetic spectrum, EM for short, is the group of all types of radiation found in this world. See how the electromagnetic spectrum relates to wavelength and ultimately, how it relates to your laser.
Classification of Lasers - SKYlasers offers high power lasers classified as class IIIb and class IV lasers. What is laser classification and why is it important for you to understand how lasers are classified.
Laser Safety - A list of recommended procedures for operating your laser safely. Just a friendly reminder, always wear laser safety goggles when operating a high power laser.
Diode Lasers - Not all wavelengths can be reproduced using a laser diode. See a list of available diode lasers in the market today!
Laser Diodes - It is amazing how so much power can be emitted from such a small laser diode. See how laser diodes are revolutionizing the world today!
Laser Modules - A laser module is composed of a laser diode and what is commonly referred to as a driver board. See what the laser modules in our lasers look like.
Disabling Cameras With Your Laser - This is oftentimes referred to as "zapping a camera". Using one of our high powered laser, you can easily disable surveillance cameras at a distance. See a video of our red portable laser disabling a canon IXUS camera.
Cheap Laser , Are They Worth the Money? - We get this question all the time. This article gives you an idea of what to expect when buying a cheap laser. Buy at your own risk...
