1. A laser dazzling apparatus comprising:

  • a gallium and nitrogen containing laser diode device comprising a first stage, the first stage comprising a non-lethal light emitting stage;

    the laser diode device comprising an active region and a laser stripe region configured to emit a first laser beam characterized by one or more wavelengths from about 420 nm to about 540 nm, the active region comprising gallium and nitrogen containing material and having a plurality of well layers and barrier layers stacked in a first direction, the laser stripe region configured to project the first laser beam in a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction;

    a driving circuit electrically coupled to the laser diode device, the driving circuit being adapted to deliver electrical power to the laser diode device, the electrical power being less than 800 mW;

    a power source electrically coupled to the driving circuit;

    a sight for aligning the first laser beam; and

    a second stage, the second stage comprising a non-lethal stage.
