Well, I don't have it In a host yet, it's in 25mm copper module from Jordan with the driver bonded in the pocket. Luckily, I put a layer of blue tape with a cutout over the 8-pin before I bonded to the module. It poppe out with very little force . I only put the diode on the PS for a few...

Really? It needs 12 volts to output max current? I thought a volt or 2 over drop was sufficient. Thanks!

Anyone know if this driver is in "high" mode. If yes, why won't it drive a NUBM44-V2 above 3.5 watts? I'm powering it at just over 8 volts, and 5 amps on this setup with a 24v, 250w (10 amp) SOLA power supply..

Brian, I'd REALLY like to get my hands on that Eghemus host. I'dd be willing to pay your full original asking price. You can check with many here as to my trustwortthiness. I'm even fully willing to pay before ship, and cover all paypal fees. Hope you still have it. Thanks, -G

Kinda reminds me of some ranchers up in Big Sky country. Traded shots with the FBI for two weeks. Fuck Boys Inc finally said "ok we've had enough", and left. Good on you, brother! -G

I've been busy and haven't been on in awhile, but this is an interesting subject. I ran across a list of all reported sightings back to, like, the 1930's, and noticed an interesting pattern. Every year sightings increased exponentially right before the summer solstice. And I do mean...

What a sweet project! This guy just might have a bigger skill set than me. Heheh https://hackaday.com/2021/04/28/clever-gas-mixer-gets-just-the-right-blend-for-homebrew-laser-tubes/

Hey Cy, you can update me with a 20w capable Hyperion Argentum.

Just wow. The science of this is WAAAY above my pay-grade, but amazing none the less! Before today, I had never heard the term chiral. So many subjects excite the mind, so little time to study them all...

I'm thinking it's some kind of filter that cuts the beam power down to 20% for a sort of "orientation to lasers" thing.

At this price point, I gotta wonder. I am tempted to go for it though. https://lcnbair.myshopify.com/products/laser-rust-remover?fbclid=IwAR2S7SynbmbxdvCbvJxnJG04JbFOgpjsaJCIq-0bS-SyxN5fUMnsDXjj7zs

Holy CRAP!! Looks like you might need some counterweights on the back of that thing!

Yeah, Paul...sounds like the main issue impeding progress is thermal management. -G

Thought this was interesting. Can you say multi-watt 532nm? https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/amp28916407/china-laser-crystals/
