When are they due?
as for the A140's why not try one in a Laser 66 pen. It would be a fun 30 second or so burner. Cheap enough to risk the chance of killing:)

Towards the middle to end of April but I've always had them come in pretty early.
I think the diodes are direct pressed into a brass looking heatsink but I'll have to doublecheck when they get here. The heatsink looks to be about 20mm (I hope it is:D) so I'll have to find a way to press out the diode if that's even possible.

It's more than possible. There is a press made to do it with. DTR used to sell them, but I don't know if he still does. They used to go for $30.00. I'm sure someone on the Forum still sells them.

FAC (I think) - Semi cylinder with dichroic coating.

Owner accepted my offer of $15 - making this a pretty darn fine deal.

I don't know, all the FAC' have seen are tiny and put right up against the diode dye. Regardless, a great looking optic and price is a small fraction of original, I bet. I've been buying optics from this seller for a couple of years, he has some interesting stuff.

Yeah, FAC lenses are tiny and are attached directly in front of the emitter face.

Oh yes I remember, 15 seconds of fun:eg: Why am I thinking you also did a 6W one?


lol on the 6W the push button got stuck it started smelling like a burn the host got sooo hot :D
i would only recommend using 2X 1.5V AAA battery in the laser66 host :crackup:

Ok, I'm curious, what should an optic be called that is only going to affect one axis, instead of acting like a 'normal' lens that affects both axis?

I wouldn't say it only affects one axis. It is probably a mirror at a specific band of wavelengths. Then again, it could be something else, but you may only find that out after you get it. It could be a type of lens, with a specific function.

Cory, you are thinking of Plano-cylindrical lenses.

Cory, I'm not sure what the function of the optic you bought is, I have not seen one like that before. My initial impression is that it is simply a mirror on a rounded piece of glass, but if the back side is ground to a high accuracy and clear, probably a dichroic mirror which reflects one wavelength, passes another. All of these guesses are real grasps, I expect I'm wrong but for what they are worth.

Well, I bought it *hoping* it's a dichroic mirror.

No matter what it should be an interesting optic...

Not sure what wavelength that will be, but it looks like a reflector rather than a dual pass-reflect. Could be IR! But orange? I don't know, can't really guess.
