    Fun find! may be useful to you builders?

    Thanks for the post. Yes, I received your email and I am looking into the best LASORB for your application, and will then send them to you in a few days. By the way, I ran across a great video that relates to the negative comments we all see from time to time...

    Hehe. Clever trick! Looks like it worked ;-)

    Fun find! may be useful to you builders?

    Thanks for letting us know. We believe the problem has to do with a plugin with Chrome. Based on your experience and report, we've removed the requirement of the Captcha.

    Fun find! may be useful to you builders?

    Thanks for letting me know. I have heard a few others say that as well. It's working for me, and makes me wonder if it's a browser thing or what... You should see a "captcha" which says "I am not a robot". If you don't see that, then that will help us to understand that there is a problem...

    Fun find! may be useful to you builders?

    Shoot me an email using Contact Us - Pangolin Laser Systems. In the email it would be good if you could send me a link to a datasheet, and let me know how you will be driving it (particularly if you will be modulating the beam, and if so, using analog or TTL modulation). Include you're address...

    New book available on laser scanning

    Actually the book can be read from virtually any device, because these days there are "kindle viewers" for computers, iPads, Android, etc. A guy on PL wrote that he installed it on four separate devices. Thanks for the comments!

    OFF TOPIC POST ALERT -- (sorry for this guys) Hi HugeDump, (Funny nickname by the way -- so picturesque!) Regarding bad comments, things like that used to bother me, but now I'm laughing! Seriously! Right now I am laughing! I'm a member of several (what are called) "mastermind groups". In...

    Fun find! may be useful to you builders?

    Yes guys, you've got it now! Laserman, yes there are different LASORBs for the different laser diodes. The difference doesn't have to do with power, but operating voltage. The two resistors get tailored for each operating voltage level. Obviously there are an infinite combination, but we've...

    Fun find! may be useful to you builders?

    I've seen several people with this misconception here on Laser Pointer Forums, and I guess a few other places too. I guess without a thorough investigation, that might be an easy conclusion to jump to. Nevertheless, LASORB is not a TVS diode or even anything like it. LASORB works off of the...

    NDB7875 Winked out and I don't know why?

    FYI: For anyone interested, there is an SMT LASORB solution. You can read more about it at the bottom of the data sheets section here: LASORB datasheets - Lasorb This was a relatively recent development, which was not available (or at least not known to be available) at the time...

    New book available on laser scanning

    Hi folks, I'm not sure if this is the best place for this post or not. If not, please re-direct it to the appropriate place, or let me know. --------------------------- If you've ever wondered about how laser scanners work, how laser scanners can be used inside new products, or want to get...

    EVER KILLED A DIODE?? see this..

    Hehe. Well certainly I didn't "squirm" and also didn't mean to "intentionally skip" any posts. As I wrote in my first post, I don't come onto this forum very often. Another Pangolin client called this thread to my attention, and by that time already there were a lot of posts in response to...

    EVER KILLED A DIODE?? see this..

    Hi Folks, I don't frequent this site much. As such, I don't run into posts unless they are brought to my attention. Since some of the information on our LASORB web site is mentioned, I'd like a chance to make some comments. I'm sorry that you felt this way. As for it being an information...

    Inexpensive ESD (static) protection.

    Hehe, LASORB is indeed not "the only way to protect", but if you come to the same conclusion we did, after doing the same testing we did, then you will conclude that LASORB is the best way. Anyway, best of luck in your endeavors! Best regards, William Benner

    Inexpensive ESD (static) protection.

    Well, certainly when we do what you called the "custom solution" it winds up to be less expensive for customers than our current packaged product. And hehe, as far as "2x more than it's worth", I would say that "worth" is in the eye of the beholder... If you are selling something for $7.50 and...

    Inexpensive ESD (static) protection.

    @Jerry, We believe that the prices we charge are fair, and based on quantity scheme. I don't know your background, but if you study the inner workings of a company (a subject on which I'm involved in writing two separate business books -- see Facebook for the most up to date information), then...

    Inexpensive ESD (static) protection.

    Hi kiyoukan, If you want to protect your laser diodes from ESD or spike-related failures, the best way is to use a product specifically designed to protect laser diodes -- namely LASORB from Pangolin (LASORB - ESD absorber for laser diodes) We make this statement not only because we...

    Laser Diodes-Surge Damage Prevention

    @Mark: Great comment and great thought. But here's the situation. First let me say that Pangolin never really intended to get into the field of laser diode protection. That was never our first thought. We only wanted to make a great laser diode driver. On our journey to accomplish that, we...

    Laser Diodes-Surge Damage Prevention

    Dear Mark, This is a great article and I thank you for sharing it with everyone here on Laser Pointer Forums! As I reviewed the article, I certainly agree with everything written here. Many of the precautionary measures such as shielding, adding additional resistance to probes and test...

    Inexpensive ESD (static) protection.

    1uF is the number, according to the math. To approach it in real life, you basically have to make a perfect 1uF capacitor. One colleague created one with a bunch of smaller SMT capacitors, stacked and soldered vertically in cascading and ascending values. They believe it worked, but it was a...
