Really, the line output ones have better divergence than the uncorrected diodes? I noticed line output and square output FAC diodes on ebay, i expected the line ones to be useless for our applications
oh that’s awesome, i didn’t know we had fast axis correction available for these diodes! where are they available from?
EDIT: nevermind i found some 1.5W 525nm FAC diodes with a square spot on ebay. very cool!
I’ve been thinking about this too. I haven’t seen a direct comparison, would anybody know how the divergence compares between the NDG7475 and the NUGM03? Thanks!
pretty exciting in my books, i’d like to see DTR carry it and test it out. if i had any variable power supplies or a LPM i would get my own data on it. would love this in a build!
How could the IR light leak happen then? I could only think of that happening with misaligned crystals. Could just IR output happen if the driver board is broken and not enough power is getting to the pump diode or something?
OP, if that is the problem and you do end up manually fixing the...
i mean if there’s suspected IR leaking out and you hear rattling it’s a pretty guilty sign of the crystals responsible for harmonic summing and frequency doubling have come loose, in which case im sorry to say you’re almost certainly hoopajooped :(
Forgive me guys, I’ve been away for quite a few years. What diode is this?? Is this a multi-diode setup or an overdriven 1W diode? I had no idea we were at 2W of green regardless!
Hahaha correct, I was 14 when I joined the forums to really get into the hobby. As of a few days ago, I’m now 21. I don’t recall your username and I can’t go that far back, did you go by a different name Uknown?
Richard, you don’t know me well but i very much admire you and the work you’ve done. I’m afraid my well wishes from a stranger are the best thing i can offer you, so i hope you can ascribe some meaning to them. After catching up on the forum’s history since i’ve been gone i genuinely am very...
