You should still be cautious and wear the goggles when handling lasers of this output power at all times. As you can already tell, there are some highly reflective surfaces out there that even the diffused reflection of the beam can cause temporary/permanent eye damage. And in this case we're...

Sorry for the late reply guys, I've been super busy the last few days :) (I wasn't even at home and conducting a reply through mobile phone is not the most fun process) Thanks for the info and for the comparison pic! It was exactly what I was looking for. I might end up getting the g7 lens as...

Hey everyone! :) I was surfing the web when I found out that Sanwu sells G2 lenses. I was surprised by the fact that they sell them for 10 bucks! This is a lot cheaper than anywhere else I've searched. For example, DTR is selling them for 30 bucks and SurvivalLaser for nearly $45 (both with a...

Wait, I'm confused. Isn't the diode's name "NUGMO1T" and not "NUBMO1T"? Because I've seen you calling it that way in another post too. Just asking to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future :p By the way, that's a sweet build. I bet it looks insane during the night! The host is of...

Is it still for sale? I'm definitely interested :)

*Names it: "Dual reptilian death ray laser sword of ultimate destruction and suffering"* Well, that'll get you some views for sure...

Sorry for the late reply guys, I was pretty busy the last couple of days :) Hmm that's a good idea. I'll make another reply when I edit the OP with my questions. That way I can get multiple opinions that will also be verified. I'll hopefully get around to it tomorrow I am pretty familiar with...

Hello people. I made this thread because I'm seeking for help regarding building my first laser. I've been reading a lot about lasers lately. I have spent hours on end (even when I should be studying for my exams, but now those are over-I think I did pretty well anyway XD ) trying to figure out...

Re: For sale: Sinner Cypreus-IIb host Send that Cypreus host to Cyprus! :crackup: lol I don't really need a host atm, I just HAD to make that joke! :p Good luck with selling it :)

Re: Hiemal's gotta sell sale Is the 450nm a single-mode diode?

Umm I think Sam's laser FAQ is adequate... But a more simplified version would be best for people that are new to the hobby I suppose It's true that Sam's laser FAQ isn't really user friendly. At least I don't find it that way (I mean it's not really easy to use). Maybe you could focus more on...

Is that a police vehicle at 0:15? :crackup: These people are smart. Edit: One major mistake is the path the laser follows after the "shot" is fired. The recoil of the gun would make the laser move upwards. Instead, it either goes to the side, or stays in place after the "shot". Not really...

4.1M now lol XD By the way, the close range lens seems to decrease the output of the laser by a lot. Are you planning on getting a better one soon? It looks like it reflects a lot of light too. (what material is it made from exactly?) One more thing. Is that a military shirt? A friend of mine...

lol So they think...

Welcome aboard! :beer:

Maybe they think you guys are underdeveloped as well Mwahahaha :crackup: Nah, I'm just messing with ya lol

I stripped apart my 532nm laser (cheap Chinese one, don't worry) and made it an IR burning laser. Honestly, i did not expect 808nm to look that red. It was fairly dimmer than my 650nm pointer, but the dot (actually it was bar-shaped, so not really a dot) was visible across the room (barely, but...

To be honest, I was expecting you to comment, correcting the article XD In my original post I wanted to say that I doubt the possibly of such lasers to exist (especially in 5 years time), but I wasn't entirely sure so I thought I better stay out of it lol And I don't think there's a metric...

So, this popped up in my News feed on Facebook. Sounds quite interesting, so I thought I should share it here :) We Could Have Lasers More Powerful Than Exploding Stars In Just 5 Years | IFLScience

Honestly, I'm confusing it too. I know those are called laser modules, but I have also seen these being called modules as well...http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41BY0PLTnpL.jpg And they are the housings of the diode and the driver. Can anyone give a brief explanation? :anyone:
