Yea I know, frightening.

Thin steel such as tin cans and razor blades yes, from up close, but these hand helds made from pump arrays lack the proper cooling for sustained work.

Spotted this XJ-F11X only 233hours 100.00 w/free ship.

Very nice Paulostool, I'm a big fan of multiple beams myself, here's a thread I made of my multiple beam musings with some pics, I also have some new ideas that I hope to find time to work on someday. https://laserpointerforums.com/threads/multiple-beams.106896/

Please post your results and some pics, we always enjoy seeing new builds.:)

You are responding to a post that's almost 8 years old, it's very unlikely that you will get an answer.

Use the words : Laser Igniter Lens to search for the nir ar coated quartz beam expanders and optics on offer from China, they are the best deal. Also, as I expect you know, those pumps output a knife edged beam bundle with each beam having uneven divergence.

I don't suppose there's any chance that anyone has seen any NUBC31 or NUBC32 diodes in the wild?

The last real post by JL prior to this was in 2021 and last real thread was 2013.

Attention LPF members, for those of you who are unaware, there is an ignore button, just click ( Aorus Forever ) then click ( ignore ) same as I did just now, and the troll's rantings will be no more.

Happy New Year and safe lasing BotoX.

Well..... the category is " other " and there's about diddily squat going on here..... just thought it might be of interest, also I suppose optical computers have a potential to be used in future land/building based AI to reduce the huge power demands, but that's yet to be determined...

Yes, I have and they are dangerous, but so are all lasers over 5mw, they are made from used fiber laser pump modules, so the output is not visible except on cameras and you need a beam expander to use at any distance other than bench top. I wear these goggles when lasing with NIR. I don't know...

The fac units were never designed for long range collimation, but you could try a beam expander. 50x 10x
