The laser has a continuous output of 4 W and up to 20 W in pulsed mode. The trigger is freely programmable via an onboard microcontroller (Arduino Pro Micro clone). The laser draws 1.6 A in continuous mode and is powered by an 11.1 V/1600 mAh V LiPo. Among other things, a laser gun could also be used to destroy biohazard material in vitro. The focal length of the supplied lens is 25 mm. I am planning a second version with an automatic focal length adjustment depending on the distance to the target using a Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser distance sensor.
Before experimenting with lasers, be sure to read the relevant safety instructions: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_safety
