A new guy's little collection...

Got around to snapping a couple of pictures today. I didn't get to take the quality pictures that I wanted to as I do not my camera right now and I can't throw my phone onto a tripod. I was still able to get a couple decent ones though. And yeah, my little collection used to be slightly larger but I recently sold two of my lasers, the 160mW 638n and the 234mW 405nm, mainly because I'm looking for a more powerful 635nm and 405nm. Here's the pics..

From Left to Right: Lazerer Classic 200mW 650nm (255mW stable), Lazerer Tiny 5mW 532nm (13mW stable), Lazerer Classic 50mW 532nm (57mW stable), Lazerer Stick 400mW DPSS 532nm (435mW stable), and the Lazerer Stick 1W 450nm (1013mW stable).

Made a bit of an f-up when taking the above picture, this was a result of the 1W 450nm.

My little attempt at getting a beam shot of the 50mW green, 400mW green and the 1W blue. I was going to do all of them but the beams weren't visible in this light, I'll try again at night.

A shot of the 400mW and 50mW beams for comparison, because earlier someone asked me about my opinion on the thickness of Lazerer's 300mW-500mW DPSS green's beams versus something of lower output.
(Also, my camera for some reason doesn't like to pick up green that well, as both beams are really more solid looking in real life.)

Here's a sky beam shot of the 400mW green and 1W blue. I used a similar one in my avatar.

Taking out that damn UFO with my 400mW..... Oh, that's the moon? Ok nevermind....

Hopefully soon I will be able to take much better pictures once I get a decent camera, maybe a nice DSLR. Also trying to find tripods/adapters to hold my lasers for burning/picture purposes, but I've been unsuccessful, though I've seen one on Survival Lasers' site, I haven't seen anything else. Well, hope yall enjoyed the pics, more to come soon.

Those are some good pictures and nice collection you have started! :D

Thanks for taking some with the two 532nm's side by side to compare the beam size.

Does anyone know why the 400mW + Lazerer and O-like 532nm's have a thicker beam than the less powered 532nm's by any chance?

Well I know that on Lazerer's site it says that the higher powered DPSS green lasers are pushed by a 2W infrared diode, or something. I'm unsure of the terminology cause obviously I'm new but maybe that's why? Maybe also the same premise along the line of how a single mode 638nm has a much rounder narrower beam than a multi mode higher powered 200mW+ 638nm's beam...
