    According to the Tongue and Quill (government military writing style guide) you do not include letter head on subsequent pages. Everything is there that is supposed to be and all the references and requirement are accurate. This thing is legit or someone is really good. I'm guessing it's legit.

    Who has the strongest laser?

    I think we've all topped out at 60W. I too have a 60. But it wouldn't take much for someone to buy one of the 100+ watt diode bars.

    What OS do you use?

    Depending on the system, I'm running XP-64, Vista-64, Vista-32, RH Linux, and Ubuntu. I was actually very happy when XP-64 came out because I thought one natural path to faster processing was to up the bus bandwidth which intel did do but, of course, Microshaft 1)Didn't release the OS in a very...

    new co2 from old medical eq, water cld or not?

    Well fire up the power supply and start taking voltage readings on the pins. Figure out levels and grounds. You could use an O-scope to see if there are any kinds of signals. When that's done begin tracing wires and see where they terminate. Figure out what the electronics are doing at that part...

    new co2 from old medical eq, water cld or not?

    The 9-pin is probably the TTL control, the trigger/safe logic, etc.

    Is it normal that glasses don't block out ALL...

    Re: Is it normal that glasses don't block out ALL. You should be seeing about 2mW on a direct exposure to 200mW. Still 2mW is very bright shot right into your eyes. It'll make you blink. Anyway, this is for anyone who purchases the hobby/education glasses. If you must blast the glasses with a...

    100mW 532nm Lab/Integration Laser FS

    That 15 minute graph was run without any heatsinking and it stabilized quite nicely. It's really a warning for the higher power systems as they are constructed with the same materials. There is only so much heat that can be carried away. I dont think you would have a heat issue. There is a TEC...

    Tight beam on 405nm

    The rule of thumb in order to minimize beam diameter is to have your collimating optics as close to the emitters as possible. As such place the diode at the focal point of a positive lens will collimate the beam but using a very short focal length lens prevents the beam from diverging too large...

    100mW 532nm Lab/Integration Laser FS

    Every now and again we come up with extra inventory. This system was from a canceled order. It is a brand new 100mW 532nm integration laser system. You can view images and specifications of the laser here...

    Is it illegal just to import or to have

    People can make all the justifications they want. I'm not here to argue over semantics. I'm just stating the way it is.

    Is it illegal just to import or to have

    Gun ownership and lasers have nothing to do with each other in any way, shape, or form. Why do people always make this argument when they can't have or do what they want? The FDA controls radiation emitting devices. This means lasers. They have controlled them since the beginning, long before...

    FDA is after me?!?!

    The FDA is an American agency responsible for American food and drug safety (among other things). Wicked Lasers is in China.

    Re: Closed - FDA is checking on me! Thanks Laserman for going through the motions as I cannot tell you how many times I've said the same thing. If you want to sell lasers you have to sell systems that meet FDA requirements. It's on their website and the cost to add safety features (key switch...

    Goggles for green and violet laser

    The only thing those do not protect you from is 808nm IR. They are strictly visible alignment so one pair is 400-532nm and the other pair is 630-650nm

    Legality of using ~350mw laser in a local bar.

    http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/radhlth/pdf/llsgde01.pdf - Please realize that you are the manufacturer as is described in the literature http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/ocer/guidance/1639.html http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=1010.4

    Legality of using ~350mw laser in a local bar.

    You are providing a laser light show and must therefore acquire a variance from the FDA. You might also call your local health department to find out what paperwork they will require locally. Few locales have restrictions on owning or using a laser system with the exception of laser shows. You...

    Black Holes???

    Sounds like he is describing his version of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. If we know the momentum we cannot be sure of a particle location. It is a probabilistic solution that suggests that a particle can appear in a space not expected (i.e. outside the event horizon). We know these...
