Roses are red, lasers are violet blue

A new laser color has just landed at ThinkGeek and we like what we see. Red and even green lasers are now fairly common but blue lasers not so much. So, if you want to have the latest fashionably cool laser color this year, we've got you covered.

This laser outputs light in the 405 nanometer wavelength which produces a very unique blue-violet color beam, that is unusual for a handheld pointer. This is also the same wavelength used in Blu-ray DVD players. The shorter wavelength allows more data to be stored than on a standard DVD which uses a red laser (650 nanometer).

This laser is certainly awesome but it's also useful for applications such as biomedical instrumentation, imaging, spectroscopy, laser induced fluorescence sensing, microscopy. And if you're not into any of those activities, then this laser can be used to write on photoluminescent material like our Glow Graffiti.
