Newest lasers *pic heavy*

My newest lasers are the 500mW? 405nm 501b made by Blord and won in the donation r@ffle. I love this laser, and the only problem I have with it is that it burns my walls at infinity. Here are some pics



I am getting it one of these

I also purchased a Laserlands 532nm module and I have to say it is one of the highest quality bare greens I have ever seen. It is huge compared to a normal one and is finned for heatsinking. Also its output claims seem accurate because It appears to be around the advertised 10mW (very dim).


lastly I have some cool shots of all my "clicky" lasers running

nice. 405 can be a pain to get to show up. glad you like it, it was one of my favorites. still waitin on a metering for my curiosity.

here's a PITA 405 pic I managed recently, fog, and the right angle and exposure help greatly:

@shaken: 405 is so hard to take pics of. Nice job on getting the color right!

burning a white wall at infinity? that's with your o-like lens, right? wow. I bet it's doing close to 700mW, maybe more

best $10 you ever spent I bet

yep. I usually have it terminate on a rock. It is quite the powerhouse.

I almost made my 405 shot my avatar, but I couldnt. too many avatars of beam shots, not that that's a bad thing. it is a good one too. I'm gonna try to do better. sometimes looking at and taking pics of lasers is funner than the lasers themselves. sometimes
