      Not sure which one you’re talking about! Generally the only ones you can get your hands on are laser pointers for presentations and such. The powerful lasers we use for research are usually very dangerous, so its a bad idea to play with them without proper safety training. Most could easily vaporise your eye if you looked anywhere near its source!
      If you’re really interested, book a visit to a lab at a University or Research Laboratory for guided tour – guaranteed to be impressed!
