I've had this laser available for a while at $500 but I haven't really told many people about it, so now its up for clearance. Its a PGL-III 660nm unit like the Orion series sold by laserglow that is putting out a very stable >290mW. Compare that to laserglows $589 price on 200mW ;). If anyone...

I gotta say I disagree here, not all manufacturers are alike and they change with time too. Viasho is actually far better to deal with IMO. CNI sends me plenty of bad eggs and I've never placed an order with them where I didn't get an underspec unit. In general, Viasho has treated me better in...

Hey sorry guys, been a bit busy. If I've missed any PMs, please resend them and I'll respond within 24 hours. As for this deal, the 15mW is sold as Dr. Evil said, the 5mW is still available (Jimmymcjimthejim, I still got it so just lemme know what you wanna do when you know). I will be offering...

1mW, 5mW, whatever. Trust me, this will only lead to trouble! For you and others

Just a little teaser - no guarantee its gunna go anywhere, but I'm looking to be able to offer a custom made threaded, focusable beam expander for the RPL and Prometheus lasers in 1-2 months ;)

Hard to tell from the pic. The two ones wit a lot of pins seems like standard DB25 and DB9 ports. Dunno if they're to interface with a computer or for actual power reqs though. More likely, that round one is the pain in the butt. I don't know enough about those types of cables to gain any info...

Ah, well unless its missing cables I'd assume you can just plug things together and try getting it going. If its missing cables and you can't test, lemme know (you can give me a call at 972 5356177) and we can try to work something out. SLM is short for single longitudinal mode. Typical...

Normally SLMs are worthless to hobbyists (even used they cost more per mW than a new regular MLM and we don't get any use of the bonuses of an SLM), but I recently got a task that would be able to make good of one. If you can make sure its in good working order (don't care how it looks as long...

Sure Ken, if you want I'm up for being first to verify it. I'd also like to get to see it closer towards the end of its journey though! So how bout you take $20 off of what you owe me ( :P) and I get to see it and the beginning and later on in its trip. Lemme know what y'all think

Red diodes suffer the same. In AlGaS, the aluminum degrades over time, eventually causing COD - hence the 5-10k MTTF of these diodes. You'll actually see output drop over that time, but the drop is not a particularly significant amount as I recall. It only takes a small defect to start absorbing...

I sell brand new WL lasershade protection for green/blue and protection for red. If you're in the US, $39.99 shipped per pair!

Lol yeah! I've received similar quotes in the upper 4 digits on some of my stuff. And don't forget AixiZ modules too - Really guys, we're all so arrogant about our DIY 'abilities'. Without the humble little AixiZ module where would 99% of us be? Nowhere!

When we want our beams to appear bright with a lot of contrast, we use as little light as possible - what you want is just the opposite. In the vid you see that there's a fair amount of ambient light. That serves to make the laser less powerful by comparison (the camera automatically adjusts the...

Sorry, haven't been keeping up on this post so can someone please fill me in as to what I have to do as far as payment and all? (so I don't have to read back through 16 pages) As for me, I'm in Richardson, TX and I have yet to come across any lasorz

So I've been searching around and am getting nowhere. In desperation, I turn to a laser forum... I'm looking for a place to set up some machinery - nothing fancy, just concrete with a roof over my head on a budget of hopefully <$100-150 a month. Really a 5x10 or a 10x10 storage unit (1st floor)...

Yep, it does some pretty insane things in the near TEM00 realm. I have a vid up somewhere, not from anything fancy like a beam profiler, but just watching the expanded spot, and you can see all sorts of funky profiles. The good thing is that they don't pass out of the near-TEM00 range except in...

To me, 635nm diode is red-orange and 593.5nm DPSS is orange-yellow. If you pull any random person off the street, show them each laser, and ask them what color, I'll bet good money an overwhelming majority would feel 635nm is red and 593.5nm is orange. When you look at it all in the spectrum...

Unfortunately, if the executives are still being built like they used to, its gunna be a tough job. On the inside they're very solidly built, and with no future modification in mind. Getting parts out is painstakingly difficult, and getting them back in place is a nightmare. That said ( :P), to...

Ah, just wondering because I knew some people who used to go to wichita east.

Hi. Where do you go to school over there?
