Bill and Thread- Remember our discussion regarding eye safety and Terabeam. The below is from an article Bernard linked to on Frank's thread. Not that I can evaluate the statement, but just thought I would throw it out there. -MikeM(From Florida) *********************** The emerging industry already has been careful to avoid the space-age associations with comic book laser guns and eye surgery lasers. "This you can look right into, even with binoculars, and it doesn't harm the human eye**," said TeraBeam vice president of business development Stephen Gartside, noting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration doesn't require any warnings on usage of free space lasers. The lasers used for communications networks cannot be viewed by the naked human eye because of the frequency at which they operate.
