  1. Laser Pointer Safety The goal of this project is to develop and evaluate test stands for comparing uncertified laser pointers with a standard and to evaluate filters to bring the laser pointers into compliance. Corey Stevenson, UW-Madison

  2. What Has Happened So Far? • Obtained a few laser pointers and some data: • 7 Laser Pointers- • 2 650 nm “red” laser pointers • 3 532 nm “green” laser pointers • 2 405 nm “blue” laser pointers • Used a ILX Lightwave Optical Power and Wavelength Meter to measure the power of the laser pointer along with the most prominent wavelength. • Tried to separate the IR and visible components using a hot mirror.

  3. Data So Far

  4. Things Needed • More laser pointers to get a larger sample size

  5. Plans • Obtaining more laser pointers • Testing the laser pointers’ power • Devising household tests to check unrated laser pointers
