Hey Mike, have you measured the current draw from your laser yet? The power supply I tested mine with only provides 29v @ 7 amps... I'm kinda worried, it might be bad for the laser to not have the current it needs. Although it makes a NICE hole through a 2 inch piece of styrofoam VERY fast! I was surprised it went all the way through like that, I am useing a metal power supply cover as a beam stop. It really does burn white paper instantly!

Be careful where the beam goes when it burns through the target. No crap here. I've been there too often.

Mike I understand couch burner, I have a question when we go to mounting should we isolate every thing metal from the laser and the amp as to keep the laser in tune I guess im saying to keep the swr down thanks lynn

Thats a VERY good question, I was just sitting here thinking about how I was gonna mount it all, I think Ill try a pvc pipe if I cant find anything else suitable. At least its plastic, and might make an interesting looking laser. I was also a little worried about stable mounting effecting the alignment of the laser.

According to Chris, Isolation of the heatsinks is needed unless you can tune the "transmitter" to the antenna. I've tuned antennas for years but this is a special case. Even shortening the coax feed can change the tuning.
1/4 wave and 1/2 wave coax lengths cause wierd problems in High Freq circuits. Stray capacity between source and load have to be accounted for. I'm being careful here.
