Infrared laser pointers produce laser light that is not visible to the human eye and can only be seen with special instrumentation, making it ideal for a variety of different applications.

Infrared lasers are not as bright as green or blue lasers, most of the infrared lasers are invisible. The red laser has a wavelength of 650nm, and infrared laser are 780nm IR laser, 808nm IR laser, 980nm IR laser, 1064 Far Infrared FIR laser.

Infra-red (IR) lasers at 1064 nm are primarily used for optical trapping, tweezing and manipulation of small particles. These techniques allow measurement and monitoring of the particles without interference from other mechanical or chemical restraining mechanisms.
