Hello everybody. I was mostly a lurker before and its been so long I figured I should reintroduce myself. I dropped out of the laser community a little after the existance of 50mW 520nm diodes was exposed. Didn't check in since then. Now I have a Sci Fi 1-1.4W 520nm laser on order lol. I cant believe the advancements that have been made since I left.

I've never built a laser myself but I would like to change that. Having a real source of income now and working in a machine shop might be a dangerous combination for me lol. We'll see where things go.

welcome to the forum I would request you change your avatar as I have had that for over a year please and thank

welcome back. You're going to love that 1w 520! Be sure to check out the multimedia section, there have been some amazing builds lately

Welcome back!

Vortish, I don't think his avatar is too easily confused with yours. Actually, I can read what the words are on his, even though I don't know what it means

Welcome back

Welcome back, have fun catching up and seeing what is new.
