[edit] Products
NOVAlasers carries mainly green lasers, although it also sells accessories that other companies do not sell.
[edit] X series
The X series pen-style lasers use AAA batteries are NOVAlasers' most popular lasers. They come in eight models, X15, X25, X50, X75, X100, X125, X150 and X175, where the number after the "X" indicates the guaranteed minimum output, in milliwatts. NOVAlasers previously sold the X85 and the X105, but they appear to have been discontinued.
[edit] Alpha series
NOVAlasers' Alpha series lasers are very similar to Lucent Optics' Envee lasers, although they cost slightly more. However, NOVAlasers' reputation is generally better than that of Lucent Optics, making the Alpha series a more popular choice. It comes in seven models, the Alpa 15, Alpha 25, Alpha 45, Alpha 65, Alpha 85, Alpha 105 and Alpha 125. Alpha series lasers use AA batteries.
[edit] NOVA series
The NOVA series lasers are the most powerful lasers and come in five models, the NOVA200, NOVA250, NOVA300, NOVA325 and NOVA350, where the number after "NOVA" indicates the minimum output. NOVAlasers also sold a NOVA Blue series, although this has been discontinued due to supply cuts.
[edit] Optics and crystals
Aside from the lasers, NOVAlasers carries various unique optics and crystals. NOVAlasers' diffraction gratings are particularly popular.
[edit] Miscellaneous accessories
NOVAlasers also sells a few unique products, such as beam visualizers, lens holders and experiment kits.
[edit] Reception
While NOVAlasers is not as popular as most laser companies, its products are considered to be of exceptional quality. People who have brought lasers from NOVAlasers generally report that the power output is always higher than specified.
