Hi Neville,
 
Was not 'ignoring' you...simply am not on-line reading through tons-of-email
and when/IF I (finally) do get to them...many require (extra) time-to-respond.
When/If possible (personal/internet~time), will TRY-to-POST...my answers?
 
This one is fairly-easy...suspecting you have bought CHEAP Lasers! <grin>
Laser #3 is obviously NOT~WORKING...if NOT the Battery...Throw-it-Away!
Use the RED-LASER giving BRIGHTEST Tyndall...other OK, for CAT~TOY?   
 
As for (home-EIS), Getting/Using 'BLUE-RAY' (405 nm) Laser...BAD IDEA..?
The one I described using for Tyndall & LIDAR experimenting (last year) was
purchased as a (component-only) since it's POWER Class was Illegal-to-sell
if delivered WORKING-CONDITION it Will BURN-HOLES & START-FIRES!!!!! 
Taking time-to-detail LD Experiments...in Retirement/Hobby is Out-of-Scope,
but I am always willing-to-help POINT other QUESTERS to KEY Information.
How much TIME & EFFORT others-expend in PERSUIT-of-KNOWLEDGE..?   
 
Many times...use lengthy (one-on-one) phone calls to discuss more details
when LIVE/(interactive) discussion's are the most TIME effective response?
Still Provided (E-Eng./science) mentoring to students on Science Projects,
but have never had student's as far-away as Australia <G> Down~Under..? 
  
Some of your 'questions' are very well-written and do-warrent a reply, But..?
Clearly, many members...posting VALID question(s) into Y-Groups & LIST,
are lacking scientific-basics/(Physics & Chemistry) to understand...replys?
Have personally spent many years before retiremant (in-middle) translating.
Strongly recommend using WIKIPEDIA.
 
 
 
As you are personally-aware, recent Discussions posted in Beck Y-GrOpE
proved-to-be TOTAL...Waste-of-TIME...SALESMAN claimed...95%+ IONIC!
Yet members (owning-product) claim going YELLOW...2~3 hour-into Brew.
After questioning source of (90~95%) Claims...more BS & How-DARE-you!
Had NO-SCIENTIFIC TEST/DATA, only BS%~Estimating...from Professor?
(Operates Web-Site providing NO-REAL specifications, only a Sales Pitch)
 
Valuing OUR own-resources...like Marshall, Ode...found SILVER-LIST only
...offered members sending <private> email, to get LINK lere...NO replys...
Y-GrOpE has over 2000 members (some already) here...enjoying best IES.   
 
Marshall's replys are PRICELESS wealth...Pragmatic/(hands-on) Physics~ 
but are most-likely understood (in detail) by only a very few members here? 
My point-being, HOW Fortunate to-be-members in, Mike Devors CS-LIST..!
 
LURKING~
Dok Dallas

Marshall, would it be possible for you to give me an explanation of why number 
(3) showed *no* beam thru the solution at all?
And for that matter, why there is a difference in strength of beam in the other 
two?
All lasers were used on the same solution.
 
Three different red lasers, 
> (1) 650nm+/-10 maximum output 1mW.......{strong beam passing thru liquid}
> (2) 650nm+/-10 maximum output 5mW.......{fainter beam}
> (3) 630-650nm  maximum output 1mW.......{no beam at all}
