i understand the many setups out there are very different and they will vary widely and that's just what i'm looking for, i'm interested in seeing how the very different setups stack up against each other at 200 feet because 200 feet will magnify the differences of all of the very different...
this is narrowed down...
1 - HH (hand held - in the title)
2 - beam profile (shape & size)
3 - at two hundred feet
4 - all the 1 watt or higher lasers
5 - of the many types and builds
6 - here at LPF
and i'll add one more...
7 - from anyone who would like to share this information here...
i'm curious about the beam profile out at two hundred feet of all the 1 watt or higher lasers of the many types and builds that are here at LPF?
thank you for your time...
they are listed under "Additional Custom Capabilities" in the catalog as they are not "asphere" lenses...
wouldn't a lens like this eliminate the need of cylinder lens pair for fast axis correction after the beam is collimated by correcting the fast axis before collimating the beam?
at the cost of $155.00 US each it would have be the best lens on the planet by a large margin...
LightPath makes another interesting lens that is placed right by the diode to slow the fast axis while allowing the slow axis to "catch up" to the fast axis before the beam is collimated? it's...
during the chat i was told that Edmund does not make a lens that is equivalent to the LightPath 352673A lens in terms of performance when paired with the Nichia blue laser diodes...
Edmund Optics is a distributor of LightPath lenses...

yet they don't carry the 352673A lens and for some unknown reason they can't get them but she would not elaborate why that is?
here it is as a jpg uploaded here, the pdf which is also uploaded here is much better.
this is the text...
• Optimized for Nichia® blue laser
• Compatible with other blue diode lasers
• Aspheric molded glass lens
• Diffraction limited performance
• Compact, single lens design
• Short...
