I'd just go for a good ArKr at this point with the yellow and red lines. Then i'd set my sights higher after that :P

Well, is the "filter" setup still good to go with CNI? I actually think that's fine, if that's what they're doing. In effect it *IS* a 5mW laser at that point. Why this wasn't thought of a long time ago, honestly, i'm not sure. I really don't know why so many people are dropping out because...

Re: daguin - Arctics, and HeNe's, and HeCd's Oh My! Yes, "Crack up" is usually the result :P Dave, got your PM, will get with you on logistics here soon, hopefully I can actually get out there, but otherwise second option yeah, would be sending a local.

620-ish diodes have existed (one LPF member even had one) - but they were very expensive, multimode, and very temperature sensitive (needed cooling.) We talked to some companies earlier this year and again they do exist, but we're really talking $5000 for a diode in a weird packaging, usually...

Re: daguin - Arctics, and HeNe's, and HeCd's Oh My! Dave, I actually am still interested in one of the HeCds, but I really should arrange some way to drive out there and put the dang thing in my car... Had plans for a CA trip but then it didn't work out. I could change that after the holidays...

Heh, I don't like this one being overspec. No IR filter, it's kinda a mess. I actually got it to get someone a 'matching set' of 660/532/405 pointers. I couldn't give that one to them because I don't want them winging around 86mW of green and who knows how much of IR. Overspec is good on...

Silver cap, rubberized black body? Ebay? Something like that? I have a "5mW" one that's putting out 86mW. And 3x that in IR. Good times.

I have some 405nm 5mW pointers I've given to co-workers as gifts and stuff. It's actually not as bad as you think. Not great for actual 'presentation' purposes but, also keep in mind if it hits anything that fluoresces it'd be pretty bright. Also that whole photopic/scotopic deal, the dimness...

No no its fine, it's good info! I know back a long while back, Dave had a working HeCd system I was going to buy from him, but he was waiting for a power supply to be returned from some guy he lent it out to. That kinda faded out unfortunately. I actually took a shot at a HeCd system doing...

Darkon collectors, bro. Pear shaped. Suck all the darkons out of a room. They totally get rid of the dark. When they get full, you gotta throw 'em out and screw in another one.

Bloompyle: yeah that's where I'm aiming now - missed some good Coherent units on the 'bay, but am still hunting . Lazerman121: 488 portables - I gotta check out your adventures on that.. Quite a noble goal there. May end up picking up another 488 too if you have surplus to sell as your sig may...

Do the LHOR-0150s not exhibit this? They were made -for- Laser Chorus, but were indeed made by REO. I've got an LHOR-0150, I haven't looked at but I doubt it's got the 609 line. EDIT: Never have I been so happy to be wrong, but I just checked my LHOR-0150, with a diffraction grating, and it...

I don't think it's likely to be that deep. I think you're having trouble focusing on a point. With 405 it's more exacerbated as I explained above because your eye will never fully focus on it. If you defocus a laser (if any of yours are focusable), does the same thing happen?

Re: OPEN: Taking orders ROUND 4!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! Offroad; Put me in, if possible for: HL515 HL460 Thanks...

A word of caution. I've had to send back a few CNI lasers. (Not that they fail a lot - I've just had a LOT of CNI lasers; so I roll the dice a lot.) While CNI's repair rates are usually rather reasonable, shipping to china is UNREAL. I think it cost me $180 to send back a 532 PGL-C, and the...

I'm actually interested in 4x of the 3600mAh as well; not seeing them on your site, will follow up as well...

It's anybody's guess on how legislators will react at this point, Hak... I see likely regulations in terms of "laboratory environments", perhaps "laboratory site licenses" where one may use lasers. They won't want to make them difficult for scientific use. But what happens then, do we all as...

Well that'll be a memorable name. Get yourself acquainted with the cheaper and lower power stuff then. Trust me, the higher power and custom stuff will find you (or you'll find it) in good time.

Hey bdgreenb, did your ali 515 arrive, and was all well? Interested as I'm jumping on one to get back into the uh... Habit.

Back now, Lazerman. CNI frustration ended in a 'meh', seems things have just been tougher with CNI lately. But, back and pursuing what I can. :)
