Yep, that most certainly looks like quite a bit of scatter around the beam. PM me the serial number (it's on the danger label) and I'll see if it's still under warranty.

I believe the warranty period is 6 months. A video or some pictures would be very helpful.

The optics are AR-coated plastic. What is the problem you're having with it? I'm not sure how long ago that GB was, but it may still be under warranty. If it is, and the problem is a defect of some kind, chances are we can replace it for you. EDIT: The lenses are actually plastic, that was my...

Thought somebody might want to jump on these super cheap argon lasers. I guess some company is going out of business and selling all of their assets for dirt cheap. They look like Uniphase cylindrical heads, seller says about 25mW, as is. But for $60 each it might be worth the risk. Argon...

Glad you are enjoying your laser! We have multiple power meters of various types and brands, and all lasers are checked on at least two different ones. :D

Precisely. I've driven a Nd:YVO4 + KTP crystal combo at -78 degrees C and it worked better than it did at room temperature.

Actually, laser diodes and laser crystals LOVE the cold. Diodes run best when they're submerged in liquid nitrogen, in fact. Same with DPSS crystals. The problem is that cold diodes shift their wavelength output. What used to be an 808nm diode at room temperature is now probably closer to an...

Believe me, if there was a cheaper way to repair or replace the tube, I'd have probably done it. When a HeCd tube is depleted of cadmium, you can't just refill the reservoir and expect it to work like new. The tubes are only designed to be used until depleted. If you were to continue to use it...

I grew up in Niagara Falls (Canada). Generally speaking, it's frowned upon to shine lasers at and around the falls. People have done it before. I've never seen it myself, but you hear about it once in a while. There are quite literally thousands of people there all the time. You draw far too...

Very cool video dude. Glad you like it!

That's one of the funniest websites I've seen in a while. If you go to the "about us" page there is even an animated picture of their employees smiling at the camera! Wow, that's rich! I'm just sitting at my desk laughing.

Hey guys, I'm just playing it safe. The way I figure it, the less information I post on the internet about our pricing and profit margins, the better. I'm sure Justin reads most of my posts and I'd rather not have to hear about it from him later! :P

I'm afraid I haven't the foggiest idea how those sorts of financial things work, and even if I did I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to divulge that information. Sorry. There is a darn good reason I went into lasers and not.... *shudder* .....corporate finances.

We don't offer them on the website, but if you call or e-mail sales we would be happy to put together a custom order for you. People do it all the time. We'll sell you just about anything CNI makes.

I just tested it now. Average 575mW, peak 650mW. :D

I can't go into much detail about it, but some digging would show that both companies have the same address (only the unit number is different). The two are very closely affiliated, some staff (including me) are shared between them. Suffice to say, when you buy something from NOVAlasers, you're...

The short answer is no, we don't. The long answer is yes, but you have to get them from NOVAlasers.

Hmm, so this Herc 550 I just got told to check is for you, eh? I think you're going to like it! It just peaked over 750mW on my meter. :D

rhd, Our main sales guy is away this morning so you may not have heard back yet. I'll send you a PM with some info on what we have.

If you call (416-729-7976) or e-mail Laserglow sales (sales@laserglow.com), you can set up an appointment to come in. You can check out some of our lasers (we'll give you a free demo) and even make a purchase on the spot if you want. The Hercules series of lasers is easily the brightest...
