A green laser pointer is much brighter than any other laser pointer color available on the market today. The reason for this is primarily because green is the highest color in the visible light spectrum to the human eye, but not because green laser pointers are made any more powerful than the others. This is precisely why you can still see even the low power green laser beams under the night sky or through a little bit of smoke. Even though these laser beams are very powerful, it still seems that it is not enough for some laser enthusiasts and they are constantly trying to modify their laser pointers to be even more strong. Even though there are obvious dangers and hazards that come along with it, they are trying to modify them anyways.

 

You should know that a green laser pointer with an output of 5mW is not legally allowed to be sold in the United States and in many other countries. For the enthusiasts, this only makes getting their hands on more high powered laser beams a little bit trickier. Read more about this in the site at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser. In fact, you can easily get a hold of a more high powered laser pointer from a reliable dealer if you know where to look online. If these more high powered laser pointers are out of your budget, since they can get pretty expensive to purchase, you might want to consider simply modifying the laser pointer you have now.

 

if you are someone that would rather modify your green laser pointer you are going to need a simple soldering kit. Once you have your kit, you will want to begin by unscrewing your lasers end cap and carefully remove the batteries or other power source. After you have done this you may be able to see the green diode and maybe even be able to remove it if your ar+ laser pointer is a cheaper version. So that the laser will stay in a solid state and remain durable a lot of high end manufacturers have made getting to the green diode rather difficult to do. One wrong move can lead to a dispersed beam since these are high precision green crystals diodes.

 

You are in luck if you do have an ar laser pointer with a removable diode, but if you do not then it would be a good idea to just let the professionals handle it. If you have a laser pointer where you can remove the diode, you should carefully remove it and locate the green laser crystal. When you see it, you will notice that it is round and looks slightly like the eye of a DVD or CD laser eye. To get ready for the next step, you will have to heat up your soldering iron and put safety goggles on.
