All of the sticky posts and links in the Lasers forum seem to be a decade old. Are there current answers to the following FAQs?

  1. How can I measure laser output power? (Last answer in stickies: "Go to a local university!")
  2. How can I check for IR output on a laser? (And if it's leaking IR, how can I filter it?)
  3. What sort of duty cycle can I expect for a given power output level and heat sink capacity?
  4. What should I expect to pay for a stable output at various power levels, and what are reputable sources for Class-4 kits?
  5. What specs should I look for in eye protection, what should I expect to pay for Class-4 protection, and what are reputable sources for said safety glasses?

If someone who is familiar with the topic would like to compile a list of Go-To threads for common questions CPF staff would be happy to refresh the stickies.
