I aimed my 1.3watt 445nm and a 5mw red at a crystal elephant for a picture... i was surprised to find an inverted version of the crystal elephant that looks like a "constellation"...(kind of lower left of center) strange effect of the lens?

I would like to see a retro, steam-powered-looking build... distressed copper host... valves and tubing... stuff like that... anyone seen anything like that around?

ok.. .I have to tell on myself... I was bored on friday so I decided to burn a hole straight through the key to my expedition... I burned right through it with a 1.3 watt and 2.3 watt focused together... When I tried to go home from work at the end of the day, my expedition wouldn't start! So...

LPM measurement 4.3 watt 445nm diode! ;) Photoshop-ed of course...

Has anyone ever seen/built a laser with Glass or Acrylic Host?

I took a picture of my 2.3watt and 1.3watt this morning just before dawn. The long exposure captured some stars and a planet or two! I am color blind... and I know that the beam on the left is a whole 1 watt brighter... but do the colors look different to you? Both lasers are supposed to be 445nm.

oopss.. it got saved twice? no way to delete?

Just got my new baby in from yobresal! Comparing my new 2.3watt laser with my 1.3watt. Ehgemus 32650 host 405-G-2 lens M140 diode Heatsinked 1.8A boost driver The Ehgemus host feels GREAT in my hand... heavy! it truly is a piece of art. The camera obviously washes out but you can...

Every laser I buy, I try to get the max output power possible. Just bought a 2.2 watt 445... Then I realized, that I can't even enjoy the beautiful beam because I have to wear my goggles. I have to make videos so I can appreciate the awesome beauty of the blue, red, or green beam. So... My next...

Charlie understands the importance of laser safety!

I know lots of us like to burn stuff.. thats a given... set a match up across the room and try to focus the lens so that it will ignite. Light a candle... Burn through solid plastic objects... CD jewel cases... Set up an array of mirrors that will create a cool web of light effect... What are...

Start watching at 5:15 if you don't want to watch the whole thing. Pulsed laser burst moving through a bottle of liquid at 1 billion/trillion FPS!

My wife just called me a "Laser Junkie".... Maybe I need an intervention?!

I'm looking to buy a 1watt > lab laser for long duty cycles...

Ok, I know... goofy... but just having fun 1.3watt 445 blue burning the word hot into a pepper!

I noticed a lot of video and pictures of 445's with a really fat beam... take a look at this beam... it is a 445nm M140 with 405-G-2 Glass Lens. I know the video isn't great... but you can see some of the beam... it seems really skinny compared to some i've seen here? Are there special optics...

I just got this little guy in today... Plugged it in... the fan does not engage. Does anyone know if the fan kicks on automatically on this unit? KQPsw_O2eK0 DC power supply - YouTube

I know there are some posts about this already but I would like some advice regarding my build specifically. I have a guidesman C6 host, M140 diode in aluminum heat sink and a microboost driver. I need to heat sink the driver... do I attach it to the back of the diode's aluminum heat sink? Or...

I would like to know what it is about lasers that fascinates you so much. I am completely addicted to everything laser... I love the coherence of the light. I love how all the power is concentrated onto a very small spot. I want a free electron laser! .... in a pointer! lol

Testing out my new diode... mandatory lighting of the matches... http://youtu.be/GEcufyL6G9g
