Hey Avery, LPF is still getting my 5 bux/month. But my 'supporter' tag is gone and.....pop-ups galore. wazzup? <snivel, whine>

While I would buy one in a heartbeat @ $140 I'm not THAT naiive 🙃 For the work that went into that $1400 would be....not unreasonable for that kind of hand assembled and aligned workmanship. Huge kudos for what you've accomplished there!

I thought $140 sounded too good to be true :) Damn nice work though! If I happen to have a couple extra grand land in my pocket I'll bite. Love the form factor! What is duty cycle like? How quickly does that itty-bitty host heat up at full power?

SOLD! Sign me up!

That seems to be a power supply only. I don't see the actual laser head in the listing.

I'm guessing it's the diodes themselves. All of the high power MM reds we've seen have had atrocious divergence.

This was looking pretty interesting until I got down to the divergence of the red :-(

Seems like Sanwu's RGB handheld just got some competition🥳

Might try: https://www.tinkerlasers.com/ The web special for his Valkyrie 573 is a steal.

Semiconductor fabs do it all the time, but in ultra high vacuum conditions.

I think we now know the answer to the question about where he gets all those marvelous toys........... Nice work!

I just want an RGB in a TO-5 can. 1 watt of balanced white. Is that too much to ask for? :)

I was under the impression the crystals in the Lasence yellows were hygroscopic and would be ruined by exposure to ambient air.

People might be more willing to answer your questions if we knew more about you. Try an introduction in the 'Welcome' section. A 70 watt handheld is not a laser pointer. It is a tool or a weapon. They are also the kind of things that might eventually get our hobby banned so people here are a...

Peice o' cake Paul. Rugedized outdoor roomba robot+camera+image recognition software trained on the * pattern of a dandilion+125W laser array=dead dandilions. And lots of lawn fires, and lawsuits. Not saying there wouldn't be.....challenges. But I can dream!

If it's an automated weed killing drone that can roam the backyard like an outdoor roomba and zap dandilions sign me up!

Could you include divergence specs for your (very nice!) toys in the future?

Welcome! What kind of project? Lasers seem to be involved in 4 types of endeavor: Physics, communications, materials processing, and weapons. Which one(s) did I miss?

You use the term 'multimode lasers' a couple of times. I think you mean multimode drivers. A multimode laser is one that does not have a nice, clean, single mode gaussian beam. The increased divergence of multimode diodes has nothing to do with whether or not the driver will operate at more...
