Re: Host Design Contest here is the extended heatsink, focus adapter, and unique aperture cap

Re: Host Design Contest Here is the Blackwolf host. I've rendered the front side and backside views along with a black version with a 3 diode Cu heatsink There are a few additional parts like the extended heatsink, focus adapter, and aperture cover, but I'll finish those tomorrow. I also want...

Re: Host Design Contest There are only 5 which go in the oval slots. The crest slots on the outside are just filled with epoxy+gitd.

Re: Host Design Contest Here is the "Glowstick" a host with GITD in mind Here are the front side and back views. I'll save the best for tomorrow...

Re: Host Design Contest Here is my first idea It is a slim and slick style host. In a few hours hopefully I can finish my other two: the glowstick and the blackwolf

that is how much pump power is converted into the wavelength of light that is being desired. 9% seems high for 473. that could possibly be the case in a lab unit but not a hand held. For example say you have a 2000mw 808nm diode pumping the crystals at 9% efficiency (2000*.09) you would get...

It's been posted the lenses are in the mail and will be tested against a real g2 and the g9

the green is going to be more dangerous than the IR leak. IR filters are very cheap and easy to install. If the green beam is not going into your eye the IR is not either. The one concern you should have is for your glasses as they may block the green light but If they are low end ebay glasses...

I bet they'd quote a PGL III C for quite a bit more than $25 too if they sold them

This is what I read on PL So it would make more sense to Use a 520 diode in a projector as its divergence is similar to the blue diodes and red ones but you will get less warm colors TVs with yellow pixels don't seem much different because they use the proper wavelengths of R, G, and B the...

I was reading something on PL about color mixing. they said that If you shift the wavelength of the green source toward blue you can no longer create rich yellows browns and oranges. I believe that the full laser RGB projectors are going to come out and they'll sell for several years. then...

didn't styro have a similar setup going for years?

Sweet, but... you'd be taking all the fun out. who doesn't like chemical baths steel wool and polishing. jk

I love the S4 host. It looks great polished too! congrats on your first build.

The outside will be quite different it is a host for people who love gitd. I was thinking somewhere along the lines of the diode pressed directly into the host machined metal tailcap and conical focus adapter. I have another design too, but I think I'll keep that one under wraps till I enter it.

You should see one of the hosts I am designing for WBS host contest. It is great for gitd I'll have it uploaded by the end of this week.

Can do. you are one of the reasons I wanted to polish/gitd mine. On an unrelated note I was looking through your thread and you called offroadfreak offloadfreak lol.

Can I use activated carbon I think I have some of that lying around if not than what is this dry chloride? calcium? sodium lol? cesium?

Here is my custom polished S4 I did a while back. I still plan on doing some GITD work on here. I can not believe there are not more of these they look really sweet polished especially with 1W of indigo coming out of it. With all the details on the host it was difficult to polish but I managed...

I just got every thing in the mail and it looks great. I cant wait to get some drivers and power this bad boy up. I've always wanted to learn the "joys" of alignment. When I save up a little more $$ for my laser budget I'll be getting some nice 808nm glasses, and then the fun can begin :D. I...
