Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please caveat emptor- 15W is an arbitrary max power value on a warning label which is meaningless in this case. This particular unit (I-328) outputs 1W of UV: 0.36W of 363.8nm + 0.44W of 351.1nm - look around the...

Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please I have a small but steadily growing pile of cree XML (or similar) emitters removed from various hosts - I'm into building lasers y'know :p - actual suggestions for interesting projects which use them would be...

Many things are theoretically possible :/ do you know of an NLO crystal with a strong THG coefficient for the 1064nm or 808nm lines, which is also commercially available? (I don't) anyway: my main curiosity / thought process here is: why were 375nm diodes developed in the first place? and now...

I know that the diodes exist - check out the first item on this list - but that itself is not enough... There has to be a massive commercial market* to drive down the prices, before hobbyists like us, who generally don't have 4000+EUR to drop on a single diode, can realize their 'DIY laser...

Thanks for this SixTee9; the thread was starting to worry me (I haven't gotten my HS yet so I didn't know if it will fit the host I have); but my C8's head is the unpainted-inside version, and I took a calliper to it: ID=40.0mm* so that should be good :) * it's very important to keep shaming...

that's amusing :p hmm, though you do get close to that with the S06J's :thinking: wish I understood more about the limits of quantum well fabrication. Any expert in the house is welcome to jump in and educate us/me :anyone:

Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please Note that that was for the data-sheet only (e-mailed), not the diode... It's probably going to be a while (try 3+ years) before this diode's price is in the single-digits...

Re: C8 Heatsink GB w/ Focus Knob Options! from mrcrouse cool, good luck with the GB :beer: I'm interested in one heatsink for the C8 host (PM'd ya too). A knurled focus knob might be good (you should post a picture of those). Is the heatsink going to be direct-press or 12mm bore? and if the...

Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please Just ordered the flashlight; coupon didn't work, no matter, difference was only one dollar. bottom-line: I too would be interested in a heatsink :) (preferably non-anodized)

No, I didn't know. yessir, that looks like a badass torch :eg: How low can one hope to get its price when so near the source?

What should I ask him to bring me? :beer:

I got a quote from the supplier for the Mits500 MM diodes which will allow me to offer them in a GB (provided that there is enough interest among you guys) for the following prices per unit, depending on the (total) Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) which we manage to get to: MOQ=10: 78$ MOQ=15: 77$...

Re: GB: PL450B SM diodes round2: 38$ each && Mits500 MM diodes 76$ each Thanks; let me know if you can find them cheaper anywhere though, as my supplier's price is <70$ (before shipping and PP fees, which bring it up to the <80$ range)

Re: GB: PL450B SM diodes round2: 38$ each && Mits500 MM diodes 76$ each I actually have a Proforma Invoice from the supplier for 10pcs PL450B + 10pcs Mits500 for a good price; so I can have the diodes within about a week if I pay it now. However, I agree with you, we are not there yet (at the...

Re: GB: PL450B SM diodes round2: 38$ each && Mits500 MM diodes 76$ each I definitely don't want to harp on about my own GB, but I've received no confirmations on the spreadsheet since I asked for them four days ago... If I don't hear back from you guys in this regard within the next few days...
