Is it part of a gearbox for something? Edit: Whaaaaaaaaaat. Like four posts showed up right after I posted. So uh...roller for some type of weird dough thing? Edit2: Damn it! Didn't read anselm's post. I give up on this one. :yabbmad:

Should have never second guessed myself, Krypton was my first choice! Someone else can take my spot.

An Argon/Krypton mix?

I believe that's oxygen?

What equipment are you going to use to test the diode, and how?

Very good work once again. I've had a few lines from Part 1 stuck in my head all day, was walking around muttering "Diodes yes/8x the best/It does over half a watt unlike all of the rest", darn you!

Is it something used to detect if light is being emitted from something?

A giant flip-flop made from pots and pot lids? I was kind of hoping it was a pots and pans dragon until I saw the other side curved up too :(

For a green to appear double the brightness you'd need around four times the power. So while 1600mW is close, you'd need a good 2W+ for it to be twice as bright as your 500mW. I'd definitely look into the best dichros you can afford (or can't, a little debt for a lot of beam is worth it...

Haha, hotlinking fail. :crackup:

Well the prices are lower. So wouldn't they have achieved said effect and therefore no longer be needed? :thinking:

Well if you hit yourself in the eye with a non-IR filtered laser and your goggles don't block IR you can possibly receive eye damage from the IR. It's not really necessary but I prefer to err on the side of caution.

If the Nd:YVO4* had cracked it wouldn't be lasing at all, just so you know. *In a portable like this, they're going to use an Nd:YVO4 + KTP crystal set.

I really wouldn't recommend a 1W laser as a first laser. I'd go for the 200mW transformable from O-Like, it is a good laser with several positive reviews. Keep in mind that this is not an IR filtered laser, so I'd order one from Radiant Electronics and attach it to be safe. 200mW transformable...

Re: FS: 550mW 405nm 12x blu-ray!! **Built by Igor and Dave** What are you expecting to get for this lovely laser?

Re: FS: 550mW 405nm 12x blu-ray!! **Built by Igor and Dave** These use 1x 14500.

Really sorry to hear your laser has gone sour. Kind of an offtopic and random question, but does anyone know the size of the KTP CNI uses in these things? Edit: And aryntha, if CNI says no to warranty repair, I say you take a hand at repairing it yourself. It's almost assuredly just the pump...

Re: FS: 550mW 405nm 12x blu-ray!! **Built by Igor and Dave** Igor's work is without a doubt some of the best the handheld laser community has ever seen. I truly wish I had the money to nab this off of you, as it's a piece of history, not many are around now that were around when Igor built...

Re: FS: O-like 400mW green laser *OVERSPEC* $250 First the Viasho and now this? You just love you some big greens don't you? :p

Re: What is a 2mW HeNe tube worth? Go for it. Edit:^@Helios
