The devices listed here
are for use with Anti-Stokes materials such as those listed under
laser detection and mentioned under IR/UV.
With the availability of 'invisible' pigments capable of converting
infra-red to visible light it is handy to have a device capable
of easily and quickly illuminating them.
Laser
Pen
For
those applications where the quantity of material is very small
a more powerful IR emitter is required to generate enough visible
light to be seen by eye. For these situations the PTL Laser Pen
can provide the necessary power.
Two batteries power the
laser diode generating a defocused infra-red beam. A clear plastic
shield allows the pen to be placed against the material to be excited
while still being able to view the results. A simple button operates
the device with a built in LED to inform the user when the device
is on.
