so the other night i finally got around to adding some 405nm to my scanner

i used the new reflect blue (473) 25mm laser wave dichro and mount for mixing

here are the results-

ignore the stray green beam on the bottom right corner

more green

a little wave fading

So the combined lasers make an argon like color?

How much was the cube you used to combining?

I think he used a 532nm ( green )pass and 473nm ( blue ) reflect Dichro to combine it .

How far have you turned the green down ??

The dot will look like argon and the beam just looks weird. I have not tried it with smoke yet though.

like diachi said i used a reflect blue pass green and red dichro from laser wave.

and in person it looks even better!
damn cameras can never capture how great things really look

The first laser scanner I saw was a 30mW green and a room fool of smoke, I must say it was rather amazing for such a low power, cameras just dont do any laser shows any justice.

this was not much smoke at all just a little bit from my iron and about 1 puff.

the key isnt really a bunch of smoke more like the tiniest bit possible just everywhere.

i need a hazer!

Yeah , hazers are much better, but about 10X the price .

The place I saw the 30mW scanner, the guy wafted the smoke about to get an even spread .

Dunno that wafted was a great word to use there ...

hmm not really cheap....

500mw green and dt40 pro scanners get you kinda high up in the price.

but yeah for the most part close 2 grand area isnt bad
