Time to bring some public attention to the risk of using green DPSS lasers in the cold.

I know green lasers are used to point out stars on frost-clear nights, and Christmas decoration lasers are used outside at winter too.

But are people aware of the invisible hazard from an apparently non-working laser? In this video I try to show how bad it can be.

And as a sidetrack, I test the wavelength of my IR remotes :)

Don't use a green laser in the cold!

Does a green laser pointer stop working when it is cold? Or does it turn into an invisible laser? That is nice to know for safety reasons if you are using a green laser pointer to point out stars on a frost-clear night. And what about those decorations lasers for your garden? Are they safe at a freezing winter night? Time to find out in this video!

What brand/model of the test equipment you are using to measure spectrum & power?

Brainiac75

For the spectrum, I am using a Lasertack LR2 in the 200-1200 nm version. Very similar to the ASEQ Instruments LR1 - just rebranded for the European market. The laser power meter is a Tracer 20W Laser Power Meter from Sanwu Lasers. I am currently testing a much cheaper and simpler laser power meter. Stay tuned for next video here on Patreon and my YouTube channel ;)
