On Wednesday Savannah and I played with the lasers that we are going to use to detect particulates in the air for the purpose of monitoring vog content on the HPA Campus. Dr. Bill mentioned that it was possible to light a match with lasers this strong. Unfortunately, we did not have the right matches, nor a laster with the suggested 55mW, thus did not succeed. Most experiments we have researched can only be conducted with a 55mW green laster, which we were told we would have, but our laser was only half as strong. In the end of class, Dr. Bill even showed us his 500mW laster. Unfortunately, the laster has a broken lens and spatters the light.
