I have a pair of night vision goggles from the Modern Warfare 2 prestige pack. They're pretty cool little things. I just never use them and I need money to build a 445 laser. I will post pictures when I get home. I think I have a video I can post too. Just as a note, these are not the same as a...

The laser is a 400mW rated 532nm laser purchased direct from CNI. The model number is MGL-532-400. The average power is about 615mW according to the Thorlabs power meters at work, but actual measured power may differ slightly depending on the meter used to test it. The unit has analog modulation...

This is a 400mW rated 532nm laser from CNI. The model number is MGL-532-400. The average power is about 470mW according to the power meter at work, but actual measured power may differ slightly depending on the meter used to test it. The unit has analog modulation with 0-5V input. This input is...

I am sad to do it, but I have to part with my big green labby. I am buying a truck and need the money for a down payment. The laser is a 400mW rated 532nm laser from CNI. The model number is MGL-532-400. The average power is about 470mW according to the power meter at work, but actual measured...

I finally got my CNI labby in today after 3 nervous days in customs. It's rated at 500mW and according to CNI is doing 592mW. I'll be testing the power today at work. Here are a couple pictures and a quick video that I just took. The pictures are just standard auto exposure with no flash. No...

I am trying to get some money together for a good green labby so I have decided to sell one of my argons since I really have no need for 2. It is a JDS Uniphase single line 488nm model 2214-20SLMD and comes with power supply 2111-65MLQYV. The output is adjustable from about 5mW to about 50mW. It...

So at work, I have a diode laser with a tunable external cavity in a Thorlabs TEC diode driver. The cavity can single out a single longitudinal mode and the TEC helps to stabilize it, but so far I still can't get it stable in single mode operation for more than a few minutes. Tomorrow and Friday...

Sometimes I really can't stand linux at all. This is one of those times. I just updated to Fedora 9 and now my Windows XP install won't boot. It worked fine with Fedora 8. Such a pain in the ass. And to make things more frustrating, it's teasing me. Windows gets about half way through the boot...

My professor picked up a pair of these glasses over the weekend. They seem to block almost all of the light coming off the diode. I'm sure they arent rated for high powered lasers, but for less than 100mW they are real good for the price. I was able to see the light from white paper, but almost...

Does anyone know if the 445nm diodes come in any blu ray drives? I think sony makes one, but I'm not sure. I would almost rather have 445 over 405.

First off, I'd like to say hello to everyone. I've been lurking around for a little while and finally got around to joining. As I said in the welcome forum, I am working on getting a project going to build and test lasers; specifically we're starting with blu-ray diodes. We are going to be...

Hello to everyone on the forum. I have been sneaking around in the shodows for a bit so I figured it was about time to actual join the forum. I am currently a student at the Univ. of Arizona studying physics and astronomy. At the moment I am working with one of the professors there on getting a...
