I got a MAX 130 --- I see I have a lot to learn...... Mike

RC----- I'm now messing with a real fiber laser ! 915 nM @130 Watts !And that through a VERY TINY fiber. I'm currently trying different cutting methods but all GTH when only about 10 Watts is applied. Mike

I looked at your info and I'm not sure mine fits. The FAP unit has 19 laser diodes in a row. there are 19 fibers connecting these to an output connecter with 19 individual fibers. These, with a lens, will project an image of 19 dots. Will your info work with this design? I'll try your...

Thank you -- Mike

I have a 40 watt - 808 nM laser module. The output is a SMA connector. the beam is highly divergent. Has anyone found a good way to get that beam under control ? I copied an article from LPF long ago about using a biconcave lens. I'm getting minimal results. Mike

Is the kit available yet and if so, how many $ ???

Will there be a complete kit anytime ?

Great planning and workmanship !

I did the same thing with an SSY-1 but broke the tube trying to move the heavy leads. I can't find a flash tube which will drive it to full power. I think it had some Kr in the mix. Try to find a replacement !!! I have a tube which gets a weak lase but doesn't seem to get up to Q level...

Looks real bright. Anything "Tactical" must be good.....

Lasers aren't very effective. Like RC said, you need to move the spot around them but they only move a couple feet. use qty: 2 1 x 4 x 18" Pine boards and slap them together to produce a bang.... Hint: Keep your thumbs from between the boards when in use :ROFLMAO:

Sorry -- I asked because flash tubes were mentioned in above posts. I saw those tubes you mention and they are arc lamps. High pressure lamps blow up if flashed. (lucky I was wearing glasses) !!!!!! Thanks for looking.

Organic is carbon based as I recall from chemistry class...... Scan that food with a big laser and cook it on the outside:oops:

I would like to find a small Kr or Kr mix tube for my SSY-1 laser.

Do you have a lens on that array?
