To anyone reading: think very carefully about what you're doing before pointing high powerful lasers at glass.
- kragen 1y agoAre you worried that the glass might overheat and break, or that it might produce a more dangerous specular reflection than Krasnow's polished stainless foil?
- alganet 1y agoReflections. I don't think it can keep heat more than steel does.
- kragen 1y agoI think the reflections from glass will be about 5% of the reflections from polished stainless steel. So, while in general I strongly endorse your point, I don't think it applies in this context.
- alganet 1y agoMakes sense. Is there any risk of the laser going through the glass and damaging parts of the machine? Or things such as refraction? As I understand, those machines have a sheet of materials they can work with. This is probably the safest way to go: just stick with the materials the laser is made to safely operate on.
- kragen 1y agoI don't know.
