Yes they are ^^ i have one laying here, it reflects nearly everything!

@slt: i heard about a special "x-ray grade" foil that acts like a dielectric mirror and is extremely thin and light. what about that?

That's great!!! With such a thin and light mirror one can make an ultra fast scanner. I think more than 1000 lines in each field and 100 fields per second refresh rate will be possible!!!

Where can I get it?

So this means you cant just use any AOM and maybe even not a for-multiline one, cause the freuquencies must fit your lasers exactly?

we should get back to the cheaper lcd blanking idea ;)

The only difference is if the AO is AR coated for IR, UV or VIS. Most are coated for vis, and work just fine from 488 to 650. A few really older AOs use a glass that adsorbs green over 500 mW, but most use TeO2 these days.

You do need to have a matched driver, a crystal made for 40 mhz wont work with a 80 mhz driver. AOs are usually +/-7 to 10 mhz wide , so using a 42 mhz driver with a crystal cut for 40 is just fine.

AOs are not frequency specific for laser wavelength, but PCAOMs and AOTFs Are.

Thanks. X-ray grade foils might be very thin and therefore flexible I guess. They are useless unless mounted on a suitable support. But this time they will become thick and heavy!

When will you try to add a Blue? to start, just use a blueray. on a pure white screen it would look like deep 457nm blue. with a bit color adjustment you should get an full color picture!

It is possible to add a blueray. Blue lasers are susceptible to direct analog modulation. But combining three lasers by means of two beam splitters makes the optics rather clumsy. I prefer to use a compact RGB laser. However they are not easily accessible yet.

looks awesome, but I still don't understand how you managed to make the DPSS green laser to work at such a high frequency

Here are some guys who could build you a compact, and i have one in my plans too (with active cooling and drivers integrated) but not ready in the next months. but yes with 405

Good news. I hope one day we will combine our efforts to make a full colour scanner.
