China develops 2.4W blue laser

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=25483

Not that this is really "interesting" tech news but im hoping Rob (Cheese) will see it. 2.4W is well powerful, and should give you a hell of a tan! Arent the ones used in DVD drives miliwatt??

 

Lies.

Yup, afaik they're 2-6mW. Though I'm not sure.

 

yeah about 2-6 mW a normal laser pointer is about 5mW. Bindi you ever seen the laser unit in the physics lab at uni I think the chem department use it aswell from time to time its 25Watts bloody big dangerous thing it is!!

 

2.4watts is a hell of a power, sod the tan. you could cut metal with that!!!

 

The whole unit might be 25W, but the actual laser isn't. Trust me

 

I was organic chem on F floor, not Physical on O.

 

That laser could serve as the basis for a mod..a deadly one...MUAHAHA!

 

That's impressive, I wonder what the lasing medium is.

 

LOL me2

doesnt say

 

omg, loser.

Physics @ Manchester?

 

Medicianl Chem at UMIST! We still did a laser theory course though which is the only reason why im interested - actually applying what ive learnt.

 

yeah thats right physics at manchester, tell me im a loser when i'm earning a crap load working at CERN krikkit im telling you now its 25W total output! well kinda... its broken down into smaller beams with different wavelengths outputing a different fraction of that 25W I think there's 8 beams in total off the top of my head

 

That's an impressive blue laser
