Been a while since I've posted anything on here. I have since strayed from the laser hobby (still have my 2 labbies though) due to my girlfriend living with me now and being less than enthusiastic about them. It's understandable when it's something that has been casted in such bad light...

So I finally got my 561nm today. Took about a month to get which was just grueling. Ended up testing at 3mW and uses 1 cr2. As most people thought/think it's pretty unstable. Mode hops a good bit, changed brightness. Overall after about 10 seconds on it calms down a bit. Wonderful color to see...

So change of plans I will not longer be moving she decided to move here so now the money will be going towards getting her a used car. Shipping will be included in all prices CONUS. Would like to keep them in the US. Known members I don't mind paying PP fees. Any member I don't feel comfortable...

This story popped up on the news feed this morning. Of course it is only a short pulse but impressive none the least. Thoughts? Japanese scientists fire the world's most powerful laser

Well I got it at work today and waited patiently. Very patiently. To get off of work and see if it would even fire up after it's 3,000 mile journey from Cali to here in NJ. So I got home not too long ago and after unwrapping probably 6" thick of big bubbled bubble wrap I was able to test it. I...

Just got this from the group buy, however, the main reason I was entering the group buy was on the hope of multi-line which it turned out they weren't. However, it is a lovely laser and someone else should definitely be able to enjoy it. I already have a 594nm and I don't feel the need to have...

It's not really a beginner kit but seeing some of the ones other people have it's just a smaller argon outputting only 6mw which is all I need. The biggest thing that got me was the power supply only using 120v cord which makes it more reasonable for my outlet situation. Well in terms of info...

I just got my coherent lasercheck today which I plan on using with my HeNe/lower powered lasers to measure output. The step attenuator seems to have a small smudge on it towards the left side of it. I know the step attenuator is for over 10mw, but I just want it to look nice. I don't believe it...

A nice surprise today. A day early my 594nm showed up. Should be outputting between 2-4mw. Unfortunately I don't have a LPM that reads low enough to check. Anyway here is some photos. 594nm & 589nm Very nice color. I have a comparison with 612nm as well, but of course next to the more...

So with much anticipation and nervousness my 612nm HeNe arrived safe and sound today with some pretty excellent packaging. I don't feel like going into all of that though. It's here. It works. Lets get to photos. It's a Melles Griot 05-LOR-151 A picture of 654nm, 635nm, 612nm 654nm &...

So there was a 612nm hene w/ power supply that just popped up on eBay. Long story short I purchased it on a whim. Wondering what they typically go for. It is outputting around 1.6mw multi-line apparently.

So I recently purchased a 473nm from jetlasers and I just received it today. Buying: Price: $324 The actual buying process was pretty simple as they support PayPal which was really convenient. It went as smooth as possible not a single complaint. My one and only issue with the purchasing was...

So as some already know last month I purchased a DL Spartan 50mw 589nm. I've waited until now to do a review because my laserbee arrived today! Buying experience: Overall as a buyer from dragon lasers I had only one small issue and that was payment. After adding the laser to my cart etc etc...

Purchased his Sky-Lasers pl-532-600B from him last week and it arrived today safe and sound without any issues and in A+++ condition. Very pleasant to deal with and would not hesitate to deal with him again. So here's a beam shot picture next to my 1.3W 520nm. Ah the power of green. Couldn't do...

^^ Just the laser host in its beauty ^^ inside with the lights on shortly after I got it ^^^^ Finally dark outside. excuse the shanty house look in the last photo. It's the chicken coop area.

My 589nm should be here tomorrow from dragon lasers. My question is if anyone has dealt with TNT before (the company they chose to ship with) I've been ready very mixed reviews online. If anyone has dealt with them I have a few questions: 1. How reliable are they? 2. Do they charge import fees...

Probably a little bit of a stretch since people who own one cherish them so much, but you never know until you ask. So if anyone has an extra 589nm portable they are willing to part with or condensing their collection or just plain need the extra cash let me know. Would prefer a 50mw but am open...

Bought his 900mw+ 405nm off of him and the communication was great. From payment to arrival was 3 days. Just picked it up from the post office and it was exactly as shown and packaged well. Very satisfied with the buy.

I ordered my laser about 3ish weeks ago now. There were a few hiccups in the beginning with a holiday and the post office, but after that was all said and done the laser was on the way. After it actually shipped it was pretty much smooth sailing from there. The laser arrived in about a week and...

I'm new to the laser hobby and the forums and just looking to finally purchasing my first laser after about a week of reading around the forums. I have looked at actual sellers o-like and rayfoss, but I think I'd rather have a laser that I know is well made and up to spec and will last a while...
