I pulled this combining cube out of a old HD TV
pulled the extras from it
Effect when shining cree Q5 through it
The rest is a copy and paste from my thread in optics but I figured it was just a relevant here
I very roughly mocked up a combiner using upside down saucers, drink coasters, and scrap paper adjusting shims
Turned out pretty good though in my opinion!
You can see the reflection of other beams on the tips of the lasers but it seemed to work pretty well even so.
40-60mW 405nm through smoky bottle
250mW 660nm
30mW 532nm
660nm + 532nm
405nm + 532nm - sort of looks like 445nm
405nm + 660nm
AND the mythical WHITE :drool:
Now I have to admit that the camera seems to help blend the colors quite a bit. In real life up close you can see multiple colors in the beam but messing around with correct focusing etc should remedy this. :beer:
Fun for a spur of the moment little project!
