This looks like a cool site. My hope is to learn enough to build a cool laser (what an original thought, eh?) What really intrigues me, tho, is how you guys are able to build these things that put out hundreds and hundreds of milliwatts from diodes that seem to be rated much lower. I have much to learn!

Well hello to you from the Pacific North West.
Not much to add to what has been said.
Get a comfy chair, a nice drink, some snacks, and read read read.
If you are wise you will plan on keeping control of the spend spend spend.

Don't believe every negative thing you read about Wicked Lasers... we have some awesome products.


Question for you... What is wrong with all your sports teams??? ;)

Welcome to the forum:beer:

Read, post, build, lase, and have fun.

Don't forget to try to use the search engine, chances are the questions that you will have, have been answered at some point:)

The forum search can be tricky and frustrating at times, but if you use some creative googling to specifically search lpf you will find tons and tons of useful information:yh:

Do believe everything negative thing you read about Wicked Lasers... we have some awful, overpriced products that take many months to deliver, and are always underspec.

Fixed:cool:

Thanks to all for the "welcomes" and helpful info for this noob. I just picked up a 532nm pointer and I want much more. The intense blue of the 445nm diodes looks great too. I will probably build a bench version before I get into a mod.

I just joined as well, and am from Minnesota. My intentions are slightly different, I want to learn how to repair/ upgrade my DJ laser. But before posting and asking how to, I am gonna give the FAQ's a read.

and before anyone says anything, I do understand once I do anything to the laser, I can no longer use it in a public setting, and that I am ok with
