Thanks for that good suggestion. I just drank a beer, so no more lasers tonight! I wish I had two pairs of glasses so I could wear one while holding the others in front of the beam.
When I look through the glasses at the ambient light in the room, all I see is amber color. I am wondering how much of that is because the glasses are that color, or if it is because amber is approximately the color of white light with blue removed? When I looked at my power supply with its strong red and green LED light sources, the colors were as if I didn't have the glasses on. It is a pretty weird sight because everything is amber except for the LEDs. So it has me thinking that because the color of the laser through the glasses is amber, I am thinking that what I am seeing is either white light or amber light. If it were blue, I don't think I would see it. If it was any other specific color, I think I would see that. But more tests like the one you suggested are needed to narrow this down. Ideally I just need to find someone with a wavelength meter to measure it. I'll have to ask around and maybe I'll find someone that has access to such test equipment. I just did a quick search for information on making your own spectrometer. Leave it to the pot heads to show how to do it:

When I have some time I'll have to look into that more. I'll probably use my camera to take a picture of it rather than look at it without safety glasses.
Thanks,
Greg
