    Wanting to build an orange laser pointer

    I have a tangerine orange HeNe (612nm) but again they are very rare and IF you can find one, it will cost in excess of $500. it will be less than 5mw though. :) For a HeNe talk to Sam Goldwasser of Sam's Laser Bible https://www.repairfaq.org/sam/lasersam.htm

    Question about diy laser galvo scanner

    This is just an opinion, but if you are having trouble with finding info, Going to a LEM would be super helpful for you. You would get to see many projectors from the home built to professional, firsthand (Once Covid-19 dies down) At last years SELEM, Mariomaster had a homebrew laser projector...

    My new 'Plasma' Electric Lighter.

    Ran across these a few years ago, only problem with most of these is the rechargeable battery, IMO I finally found a plasma lighter that uses a removable standard replaceable 14500. It has a double arc, very nice and now it can last forever as I can just swap in another battery Can't find a...

    Yes but the average firearm isn't kept loaded and then fired repeatedly in a living room while being waved around by a 14 year old

    Is Sanwulasers a scam?

    I have a 3x Beam Expander from them No issues on getting it. Plus lots of people here have purchased from them and I haven't heard any major issues, although they are a newer company.

    Diode pumped 588 nm laser

    In any case, somebody is spending tons of money to fill the gap. That is good new either way. Medical seems to be the push and there is money in it. So IMHO, it will happen when enough money and "ambition" get directed that way. Yellow or Orange diodes - either way I'd be happy.

    Any 1W laser diodes that I can run on 3.7V?

    You are also not stuck on a 18650, they are common but if you really want you can fit two 18350 or 16340 in almost the same space to get the higher voltage, if that helps at all. Works in most portables (65 mm vs 70 or 68mm) Last three digets are the length - ie: 650 is 65 mm etc

    WTB: Ophir Heads, Ophir LPMs

    Another possible option is that several members, including me, bought Kenometers a few years ago. They have the same Ophir head on them and most were priced less than the head is going for now. You might find someone willing to part with theirs (but not me) At the time, the heads were available...

    What is a Penta Prism?

    Thanks, nothing listed on forums regarding them. But Meredith Instruments has a laser Penta Prism for sale on ebay. I wondered why you would use one and obviously if no one has ever posted anything about them on here or PL then they aren't very common in laser systems. Apparently they are...

    What is a Penta Prism?

    Can anyone explain, in simple terms, what a penta prism is and how it is used? I read the specs but I'm apparently still not sure of the way it works.

    PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please sub

    I like my Kvant Clubmax. Kvant sells modules also but they are pricey. I just had someone build me a projector for my house, only one watt, but Saturn scanners, single mode, PBS cubed on all three colors, perfect alignment. Best you can get without going to gas and super professional. He is on...

    PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please sub

    I have bought a couple similar ones to play with. One was 1/2 watt other was slightly more. My biggest issue with them was the size of the beams in relation to each other. Alignment was decent for short distances, Nothing great. On the ones I have, some of the beams where MUCH larger so you...

    Cheap diode drivers.

    I wondered what you meant by "proper lens" These things are always bad IMO.
