Re: Woa, don't try this at home!

said by winterforge See Profile :

A typical laser pointer, which has a beam that is collimated (not expanding), and is at visible wavelength (650 nm) where the eye is transparent, is probably more danger to the retina than a fiber optic link.
All very good data. In this photo, the light is visible green light, apparently laser - obviously NOT what's used for data communications. I wonder if the model was told the risks?
