Merged 445nm Pictures and Video Thread

Re: Photos and Video of 445nm

Got some pictures of my dorcy and the dog.No idea of ma or mw just soldered all resisters together for 412ma to 1.2a you will have ask Drlava where he sets the flex drive before he sells them.runing on a rcr123a tenergy battery.

Re: Photos and Video of 445nm

I received my Ehgemus Hosts yesterday. As soon as I got home I plugged the soldering Iron in and got to work. The diode is pressed directly into the host for good heatsinking. It runs on a flexdrive and a single protected 18650 battery. I have not received my glass lens yet so I am using a standard acrylic lens. The output is 1100mW or 1.1 Watt with the plastic lens. Glass lens should yield 1200mW I am guessing. I love this laser. It is very nice. I just wish this power was achievable in my Chrome pocket mini.

At what current are you getting 1.1W with an ACRYLIC lens? lol

Re: FINALLY 445 arrived and running + pics

I know you've all seen pics of 445nm lasers and I have not built it into a lab build yet... but I'm as excited as a kid a christmas, so humour me please... :tinfoil:

Oh please we love pictures! They are some really nice beamshots too. No need to humour you.
I love a blue beam in thin air! Green is nice but blue is where my hearts at baby.
No smoke yes?

Re: FINALLY 445 arrived and running + pics

A little bit of smoke actually, just a smidge. These blue lasers really light up with even a merest trace of smoke, I suspect they fluoresce the glycerol/glycol particles in the air...
I'll take some more pics, I don't see many really good beam shots of 445nm coherent light yet so I'll see if I can do better.

I've just been down stairs bouncing the 445 off a small mirror glued onto a spring. It's pretty cool actually! A nice effect for zero$

We love videos even more!

My diode has just arrived and here are some pictures and video of this diode.

And video...

YouTube - 445nm Laser diode quick test

I used aixiz glass lens for Red lasers and beam was very acceptable.
Divergence of fast axis is about 1.704mRad, that is better than my O-Like 150mW DPSS laser.

Re: My first build (Jayrob 18650 Host) - 445nm Success

Congratulations on this one :wave:

+ You got some nice shots there!

Re: Photos and Video of 445nm

Media Request: I would like to see 405 lined up with 445, 473 and 488 Argon. Can someone please give that one a shot? Dave I know you've got Argons up your sleeve..

Yobresal: These diodes have been pushed past 2W before popping. I have a link to test where they are being tested at 1.5A!

yet another 445nm build

my 445... in a few different hosts... i am loving this thing!

a little florescence

beam in darkened room, no smoke

originally planed host

the host i ended up with

oh and beam in medium lit room, still no smoke

Re: yet another 445nm build

Nice box host! makes for easy adjustments. the host you had before looked pretty sweet though

Re: yet another 445nm build

I can't believe you have a robot just hanging around playing with your laser. What if he decides he doesn't like you and burns out your eyes?

Re: yet another 445nm build

Frontal wash machine and dryer are the win...

Wow the host you intended to use look amazing, i hope you will find a use for it..

I laughed a little when i saw that package box.

Re: yet another 445nm build

Maybe some details?
Power (settings/output), driver, module (Aixiz?)?
and LOL at the cardboard "project box" :crackup:

 

[styropyro]

It's actually closer to 700mW-800mW, but will change when I get my lens from Aixiz and I can bump up the current.

 

[TheTeslaWarrior]

i love the original host. its great and i still intend on using it.

codiejman: it was the box that parts for the laser came in LOL, i said that will do.
designedfor1: Wadsworth would never do that... i keep him happy with a constant influx of lasers :crackup:
Ash: it is an aixiz in a dx 70mW heatsink i have a ddl that will push it to 1 watt but im scared to use it so i have a rckstr maxed out... it chews through 9v's like they were fun sized candies on Halloween.

Well as long as Wadsworth is happy and doesn't turn into a psychopath gun, then I guess your in the clear. Oh by the way, you build looks very nice!
