The laser pointer can damage the camera sensor, and its effects are related to the laser intensity and the duration of the irradiation. A normal laser pointer will not cause much damage if exposed to it for a short period of time, but a high-power laser pointer may damage the camera. The design and material of the camera affect its ability to resist lasers. Avoid illuminating the camera when using the laser pointer, and take precautions to reduce the risk of damage.

Beam quality factor is the main parameter to characterize the transverse pattern of high-power lasers, and in order to solve the problem that the current beam quality analyzer can only be used for beam quality evaluation of small-aperture and low-power lasers, the principle and simulation of attenuation and beam reduction technology for beam quality measurement of high-power lasers were studied. The simulation model of the attenuation and shrinking beam component is established, and the thermally induced aberrations of optical components under high-power laser are studied by using the finite element method, and it is concluded that when the peak-to-trough (PV) value of thermally induced aberrations is less than 82 nm, the influence on the beam quality factor is less than 5%. As the beam passes through the attenuation component, if debias occurs, the beam quality factor will be smaller. Based on the Zenic polynomial and the beam quality factor calculation model, the influence of the wavefront distortion of the beam shrinking component on the measurement is studied and analyzed, and it is seen through the Zemax simulation analysis that the influence on the beam quality factor measurement is less than 5% when the angle of view between the incident light and the center optical axis of the beam shrinking component is less than 7° during the assembly and adjustment.
