Hello all! My name is Mitchell, I'm 16, and I'm currently a High School Junior. Like most here, I've enjoyed laser pointers for a few years, but I didn't really catch the laser-enthusiast virus until I saw a Kipkay video. Yes, I know that he is a horrible start to this hobby, but before I went all out on a flashlight and a 650nm diode, I figured I'd research lasers until I got a bit more familiar with them. In a matter of days, I ended up cruising through LPF, and once I took a second to find out about drivers, I immediately tossed the Kipkay idea out the window. Since then (about a month ago), I've been reading as many threads as I could, and though I obviously have a lot more to learn, I feel pretty confident about my knowledge of lasers, especially in the infrared region. Due to this, I've decided to try my hand at a portable 2W 808nm/405nm laser (two 1W 9mm 808nm diodes combined with a PHR-803T diode, though the PHR-803T is so that I know where it's pointing). I hope to have future endeavors in the art of DIY lasers, and I hope to become an active member of the LPF community. I hope I will enjoy my time here, and I hope you will enjoy having me.
So yeah, hi!
