Now, Dok, a quick response to you,

 

I've searched long and hard for multitudes of information in the public domain, 
but as you suggest, "if one hasn't the education to know what *wording* to put 
in the search engine", there's a breakdown in communication, this has *always* 
frustrated me.

 

I've found plenty of places for information on many things I have looked for, 
but unfortunately one has to pay for the privilege of obtaining them, this I am 
not in a position to do, hence my last resort in some things is to come here 
for answers or explanations on some matters, and in some other matters I freely 
admit I've been either too stupid and hadn't thought, or too lazy, to look, but 
then I believe anyone can be guilty of that occassionally.

 

I will look at the information you provided, Thank You. {understanding them 
could be a different matter perhaps, but we'll see <g>}

 

N.

Most likely nothing-wrong in Bottle/Contents...LD-is-NOT in Laser-mode?
Laser Diodes have a minimum LASING threshold-current...and with weak
batteries...you do-not have enough-current to avalanche to LASER mode!
 
Unless you reach minimum-current...any LD will glow-red, not-as-LASER.
If not in Laser mode...635 nm Output is OK, but the light is not-coherent.
Rather than waiting for (new) battery...just swap-batteries to Test others?
 
Neville...Marshall's describing spectrophotometry not-based-on refraction
and while you have a very inquisitive-mind...off-track, get Bad...Answers?
In-fact/see-below...learn how to use WIKI/understand PhotoSpectrometry.

P.S. Earlier-posting was accidentally-sent before complete (without) Links
and as soon as I can post-again, will POST WIKI-LINKS to get ya going~
Try these-two Search engine's www.dogpile.com & http://en.wikipedia.org

Chance to show Marshall & Ode how to Size & Zeta  0.6nm Particles~!

strongly suggest...NOT asking-questions here...University Professors..!
Better start-here> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_light_scattering

Neville, rather than get into endless-loop of answering Daily Questions,
which take way-too-much TIME from Marshall, or Dok...so~Try LINKS!
Prefer to Show member HOW & WHERE-to-SEARCH...not Answering
I have even included full physics-package from college...you can study.

Try the laser through the bottle with nothing it it, then try it with distilled 
water in it.  We need to find out what substance is blocking it.
