Green Laser


5 mW., 530 nm. continuous beam

This is our first Green laser. This system was designed to be used on large guns such as the .50 BMG. Large amounts of ammo are wasted walking the bullets up to the target. The Green laser works like tracers. The laser produces a green beam easy to see with the naked eye.

Here the Green laser is mounted to a dual beam universal laser. Bolting the Green onto the universal provides the means to adjust windage.

The system is shown mounted to a flat top AR.

Why Green? At 530nM. the human brain perceives green to be much brighter than the more common red lasers. The method used to create the green involves taking a high power IR laser and passing the beam through a crystal that splits the wavelength in half. It takes 200mW of IR to make a 5mW green beam. Because of the high power used, the laser needs much more current than the red laser. The green also produces more heat and needs very stable thermal control. Because of this, the green laser is hard mounted inside of a sturdy aluminum housing that provides plenty of heat-sink and shock protection. Instead of jacking around the laser module inside of the housing to aim the laser, the entire laser housing is moved during adjustment. The green laser pulls around 220 mA of current compared to about 30mA for the red laser diodes. Because of this, manufacturers of cheaper green lasers will turn down the output, and pulse the beam. This makes the battery last longer; but reduces output to 1/10 maximum power.
The Green laser is not cheap and not for everybody. If you are interested and would like to learn more, please call us.
