1. Ir Filter Technology
The green lasers at FreakLasers.Com are equipped with high-end IR filters. It mean the green laser beam of our green lasers only give out the green laser light, but never give out non-532nm wavelengths. However, shoddy lasers mostly give out infrared light, which, as invisible as always, cannot be easily seen by human eyes but very easily damage the eyes.
This can explain why our green laser beam seems to be more bright and intense than most shoddy lasers. Speaking of laser safety, the shoddy lasers without adding ir filters can damage the human eyes when they're not aware of it at all when they operate the laser. With shoddy lasers, wearing the goggles that fits perfectly for blocking 532nm goggles are meaningless. You're hurt by the laser whenever and wherever you use it, anyway.
When we test the output power of any laser before sending it out, we add the ir filter onto the power meter to verify the pure 532nm power.
2. Solid Casings
Don't judge any laser by its look. Feel it. You will find that the casings of some shoddy lasers are very fragile, not solid at all. For portability's sake, the casings of our laser pointers are made of copper, aluminum, Ti, or Ti-Al alloys.
3. Cooling Methods:
The coherent and focused laser beam produces a lot of heat, so the cooling is the headache. For most laser pointers and handheld lasers at our website, the special air cooling method has also been adopted. It's not hard to know why some shoddy lasers are so easily heated unless you have to turn it off all the time. They can be turned on continously for >3 mins.
