So I got this game from Think Geek awhile back called Khet

And aside from the "wow it's a laser game" factor, it is a ton of fun to play.
Now there is an expansion called Eye of Horus. This consists of 2 beam splitters (11.99 for the set)
They...
ok either i'm doing something wrong or i'm completely not understanding the process to getting one of these bluray diode to lase correctly.

Ok so I had a few questions about this type of project. I have a good understand of the parts needed and have most of them laying around. The only big question I have right now is about the mounting of the mirrors on the spinning motors. I thought I read somewhere, but can't find it now, that...
Ok guys After the holidays i'm planning on buying the parts to build a DIY green.
I have found the parts I want, but i'm not sure if it's all I "need"
so My plan is to use the crystal stack from
http://www.roithner-laser.com/crystals.html
it contains both the crystals(Nd:YVO4 + KTP) together...
Ok so I finially started putting it all together
i'm using one of the smaller brass aixiz housings since heat isn't nearly as much of a problem. I notices it was alittle hard to focus so I started playing with the optics in the sled that came with it. I found that one of the lenses helped focus...
Ok i'm struggling with some issues soldering these LD's without over heating them. I know heat = bad, no kidding but i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong here.
i'm using the following solder and iron
solder...
Has anyone tried to use a transformer to step down the voltage and ste up the current in a circuit? I'm looking at this because I want to fit my LD and a small peltier in the head of a flashlight. The pelt feeds on current not volage so I need to pump up the current.
I'm trying to find a way...
Ok so instead of posting randomly around I figured I would put all my testing and equipment in one spot now.
so I pulled my diode fomr an Emprez 16x dvd burner, the diord is not round(problem one)
I have pictures of that and my solution
I went and got all the needed components(not al used at...
