Safety notes to answer to some direct  mails.
It seems important to specify that we are not irresponsible ones and  that 
our laser is equipped with a large diameter and very short focal  collimator.  
Because our laser diode very wide junction size, it gives 1000  m away, a 
rectangular very thin beam presenting more than 300 cm by 10 cm  section.  It is 
why all the modulated 400 milliwatts effective power is  distributed on 3000 
cm².  That represents approximately 0,1 mW/cm ² that is  to say less than tenth 
of a class 1 laser pointer power !   The exposure time to this invisible ray 
with negligible power density,  according to the speed of any planes and the 
firing angles, could not exceed in  all the cases 1/10 S !  For us only one risk 
exists at short distance.  Apart from the use of special glasses, two 
rocking-lever switches with mercury  maintain a safety for all accidental aiming 
changes.
