Laser Burner

Many highpower laser pointers can burn electric tape, pop balloons, light matches. It is able to burn so easily, due to the high-tech laser diode. It's laser burners.

There are a number of different ways to make a burning laser, and regardless of the method used, it will produce a handheld laser that can produce enough heat to burn through objects and ignite materials like paper. The two most common methods used are by modifying, or “modding,” a green laser pointer to produce a stronger laser and building a handheld laser using a flashlight case and the laser diode from something like a digital versatile disc (DVD) burner. 

I’m not sure what the minimum mW is to burn paper or a match, It would depend greatly on the distance from the laser, the color of the thing you are burning (black would absorb more heat, white would reflect more)

You can turn a flashlight into a handheld laser burner.DIYer Kipkay extracts the laser from a DVD burner and mounts it in a small flashlight to create a handheld laser burner:
