Red, Green, Blue and Yellow Laser Pointers: Presentation Heaven
I was in a meeting earlier today where we needed a laser pointer.
Went to my desk to grab my uber-cool green pointer, but could not find
it. I was in a hurry, so I grabbed my lame and not very bright red one
and went on my way. During the meeting my mind started wandering to
different types of laser pointers, and what one could actually get.
While red is nice, how cool would it be to have a collection of different
colored laser pointers? So I have decided to start
collecting. Hey, I'm
a technoholic, it's what I
do.
I already have a red laser pointer. I think everyone knows what
these look like, it's soooo 1995.
I had a green laser pointer from
Think
Geek. I just need to find my green pen again,
or buy
a new one. Cost here is $79.00.
I have always wanted a BLUE laser pointer. I have seen blue
lasers before, but nothing small enough to fit in my hand. Did a
bit of web searching, and for a mere $999 I can get my hands on an
actual
blue laser pen. For $1,899 I can get a pen that's insane, crazy
bright.
One color I had not thought of was
yellow,
and that's a lot less than blue at $299. Problem is that I can't get
this pen shipped to the US (afraid I may, what, blind myself?) I'll
see if I can't get around that somehow and add that to my collection.
This will be a fun new project, collecting as many different colored laser
pens as possible. Anyone know of colors other than red,
blue, green and yellow that will act like a pen/pointer? With all
the current pointers, I'm looking at $1,377. Has anyone worked with
these different colors before, or know anything about blue and yellow?

wow!! Nice idea - I wish I simply had enough money to make such a collection.
I have a green LASER pointer which has been amplified furthur from 5mW to 38mW and is crazily bright.. and great fun. A blue and yellow would be a great addition to my collection! I find it very hard to find more powerful red ones.
Take a look at my website for some photos of my Green LASER in action!!

Alasdair
thanks for the links PEG
My site is here (excuse adverts - sorry)

I have a green lite. I found the same prices you did for the 299 for yellow and 999 for blue. I bought the green laser back in 2002. Still works fine. I keep a chain on it so it can never be dropped. I use it like maybe 2 or 3 minutes a week. So it is still good.

Think geek is great but you pay extra for buying from a branded retailer.
At http://www.dragonlasers.com you can get the same green, blue and yellow (they call it orange) lasers for lower prices.
Check this out for a cool laser pointer video :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIRTbb3H27Y
