I'll update this thread with pictures and some LPM readings where necessary later ...
Anyway - going to have to sell off some of the labbies. Money is tight - Yellowknife isn't cheap, especially living alone. Thinking of moving back to renting a room come November when the lease is up, we will see. For some perspective, a room here costs >$600 - generally not including utilities...
Shipping to North America will be $25 for everything except for the Melles heads/PSUs if you're interested on those. Bit more bulky than everything else.
#12W Dual Ca$io (A140?) 445nm with prism pair. Runs on 12V with a 5V analogue modulation signal - good for a projector or burning your blinds from 15ft away (Oops...). $150 OBO
#2 -SOLD CNI MGL-H-532-500 - Last time I measured it I was seeing exactly 500mW. Takes a little bit to warm up and stabilize. Mode hops a little, kinda near TEM10 - probably just needs a simple bit of realignment - these aren't complex as far as high powered DPSS lasers go. Has analogue modulation - I just have the + pin jumpered to the 5V power input just now. $200 FIRM
#3 SOLD - 6x LPC826 Diode Lab Unit - Custom from Andycon - This needs some work - at least a couple of the mirrors need replaced, two of the diodes definitely need replaced - perhaps a third too - can't remember. Bit of a project for someone to work on. Should do around 1.2W @ 650nm after some TLC. Produces a surprisingly decent beam when properly aligned. Sold AS IS. $50 OBO.
#4 -SOLD B&W 473nm Labby - Pretty sure we're mostly all familiar with these. This one does ~10mW after warming up - I've removed the photodiode assembly and fibre coupler. Divergence is terrible on these as they weren't built with a collimator - at least none that I've seen. Can be modified for a collimated beam. Beam mode isn't great either, but hey, it's 473nm and yours for only $80! $80 FIRM.
#5 - Melles 18W 808nm Pump Diode. Fibre coupled pump diode from a 2W Melles Griot 532nm. Worked the last I tested it - looks like all of the dies are still working. Still mounted to its base plate - removing it would mean ruining the fibre coupling. Can't confirm power as it's way above what my meter will take. $40 OBO.
#6 - SOLD Lasever Lab Unit LSR638CPD 1W 638nm - Pretty much new - less than 1 hour of use. Has some nasty splash to the sides of the beam (Will add pictures) - came that way from the factory, works fine otherwise - wasn't an issue for me as I was planning on throwing it in a projector - easy enough to filter out the splash. Main beam still meets spec'd power even after cutting the splash. $210 FIRM.
May have a couple other things to add ... I'm keeping the argon and pointers though. Unless someone wants to pay ridiculous shipping prices for the argon. :thinking:
To add, maybe:
2x Melles PSUs for the broken 2W greens.
1x Broken 2W melles head - still has the pump which was still functional last I tested it, can't confirm power - may be missing some screws...
1x Empty Melles head - Similar to the one above - Will need to find the screws for that too... Everything removed from that.
2x KTP Crystals from the 2W Melles Greens - pretty darn beefy crystals. Still in mounts. Actually one of the two may still be in the first head I mentioned - will need to check my box of stuff.
I won't properly list the melles stuff - other than the diode that I removed. If anyone is interested in those parts let me know and we can figure something out.
I think that's all for now. Let me know if you have any questions - will get pictures/power readings up over the next few days here.
