After the previous session demonstrated that there was a variable spot size dependent upon exposure time, it implied that the beam did not have the uniform intensity of a stage spotlight. In this session we investigate the true nature of the INTENSITY profile of my beam and what that means for damaging various materials
Understanding the beam is but one aspect of understanding diode technology. This session also demonstates how important it is to understand the make up of various materials and how they react to laser light. It may suprise everyone to know that 455nm light is incapable of cutting or marking wood. WHAT???? Seeing something happen is not the same as understanding what is ACTUALLY happening. The Almighty physicist is a master of deception. So let's discover his secret.
