What are you waiting for?
In addition to Class 4 Laser Pointer equipment and laser safety gear manufacturers, large laser surplus outfits often have some minimal selection of laser safety goggles, but those that are available will probably cover the types of lasers you are using. However, they may not have all the regulatory approvals - that's one of the things that boost prices!
Also be careful whether the eye wear is designed for diffuse viewing only, or will withstand a direct hit from the Safety Laser Pointer. Know what you are getting - the worst thing is to think you are protected when you are not. Or, to become so disgusted with the reduction in visual acuity and clear view resulting from poorly made or mismatched goggles that you end up not using them at all!
Be aware of the wavelength(s) power of your Laser Pointer . A 100 W CO2 laser and 100 mW Ar ion laser are quite different and require different sets of precautions but one is not necessarily more dangerous than the other. Specific laser classifications and precautions depend on both wavelength and power.
High power green laser pointers is useful for marking objects from long distances, and is compatible with all generations of night vision goggles. The ultralow weight of the FLIR MLP enables its use in small vehicles and in handheld applications. The timing sequence has multiple patterns available for user/OEM flexibility. User-defined patterns and ramping/flashing are also allowed. Externally controlled brightness and pulsing is included.

It may sound like the stuff of urban legends , but it's true: The same laser pointer you've used in business presentations or to entertain your cat for hours on end could actually take down a plane. How can this be?
