Hi gang.
Been traveling. Hong Kong, Thailand, Europe. Hard to leave Thailand.
Can't wait to see new power levels. Lordy knows what you guys have put together. Glad to be back with my laser pals.
Welcome back, I guess a lot changed during 7 months. At least Laserbtb stopped production, CNI does not seem to deliver to end customer directly, we have 7 W blue diode (maybe it is longer here than 7 months), 505 nm diode seems to be released soon for commercial produce likely, awesome multiline 589 nm Spartan, insane 532 nm 1.4+ W (!) Optotronics RPL-II is on the market and Sanwu is able to fit even 700 mW to 1 W blue diode in Pocket series host on demand. And I definitely missed something.
Edit: And yes, rep inflation is definitely on place here, but I do not see there a problem much. It just think it is a sign of active community here.
