Lasers

A Class II ≤ 1 mW) laser pointer for lectures and demonstrations. Powered by 2 x AAA batteries (Not Supplied). Red laser specification 630 - 680 nm

This kit comprises a red laser which attaches and rotates around a graduated plate, which makes it easy to see and measure the incident beam angles for both reflected and refracted beams. It can be used in vertical plane with the cylindrical tank with water or in horizontal plane with the glass optical accessories, which are included. Useful to demonstrate: Verification of the Snell's law of refraction with semi-circular block or cylindrical tank; Total or diffuse reflection with plane mirror; 90° reflections in 90° prism; Double refraction with parallel faces; Determination of the angle of prism; Multiple reflections and refractions in trapezoidal prism. Kit includes; •1 x Laser (powered by 2 x AA batteries – not included) •1 x graduated disc 50 mm diameter •1 x cylindrical tank •1 x plane mirror •1 x rectangular block •1 x right angle prism •1 x semi-circular lens •1 x trapezoidal block

This quality combination class II laser pointer has options for both red and green lasers and is ideal for highlighting and presentations or for comparing the properties of red and green laser light. The unit has chrome finish exterior. 2 x AAA batteries required (not included). Red laser specification: 650 nm, <1 mW. Ultra bright green laser specification: 532 nm, <1 mW. BS EN 60825 compliant and labelled.

A class 2 (< 1mW) laser emitting purple/violet light at 405 nm. Great for demonstrating Total Internal Reflection in bottle of tonic water!

Superb class II (≤1 mW) laser pointer emitting true blue laser light, at wavelength of 445 nm. An excellent addition to the laser range for diffraction experiments etc.

This class II (≤1 mW) red/orange laser pointer, emitting light at wavelength of 635 nm, provides higher visibility (brighter) light than standard 650 nm red lasers for the same power output.

This laser emits an intense monochromatic red beam of wavelength 630 nm at 0.9 mW (Class II operation). Typical beam divergence is approximately 1 millirad. The laser is ideal for the demonstration of the behaviour of light in a visually effective way, reinforcing the practical work carried out by pupils using white light. It is an essential tool to develop basic understanding of the passage of light through different media, slits etc. The laser beam can be modulated by applying an external digital or analogue waveform to the 3.5 mm jack socket on the rear panel. Alternatively, the beam can be modulated by the internal generator which produces 0.1 µs pulses at approximately 1 MHz. This allows speed of light experiments to be easily performed. The passage of light through light guides and optical fibres can be demonstrated by filling a glass or plastic tube or U-tube with very dilute milk. The growth of laser-based communication systems and research into the use of lasers in computers of the future make this an essential piece of equipment to bring up-to-date relevance into teaching. The laser is powered by a 6LR61 (PP3) battery or external smoothed and regulated supply, has adjustable focus, no warm-up time and has a key operated safety switch. Housed in a robust anodised aluminium case. Supplied with key.
