    Laser Projector for Speckle

    Agreed, perhaps a tungsten source similar to an ellipsoidal stage light with a very even field, focused at your specific plane + some sort of thermal imaging to compare to a known non-defected measurement?

    500mw 638nm Mitsubishi ML501P73 Build (w/pics)

    Thank you, that's super helpful and interesting. I'll be putting this together early next week - really looking forward to seeing this beam!

    Would someone build this for me or no?

    ^ I have zero intentions of touching that thing, but admittedly, I'm also curious how that thing is driven. I've seen the video by Styropyro but he doesn't divulge much (which is probably a good thing for the general YouTube viewing public).

    Hello from an old noob.

    Welcome, and congrats on the recent purchase! Keep in mind your lower power greens might also kick out a high amount of IR that could still be dangerous. If you're looking for a reliable pair of safety glasses, check out the options for various wavelengths from Survival Laser. Be sure to update...

I'm a video producer for a lighting manufacturer, so I spend a great deal of time controlling and capturing light and lighting instruments. I'm also a bit of a tinkerer in my spare time, and a fan of...

    Help buying first blue laser!!

    Yes, that's the 1 watt, actually driving a little closer to 1.2W. I shot those photos last night on an iPhone 11 Pro so I think the longer Night Mode exposure kicked in and some other downstream processing is compensating a little bit. The green was definitely overpowering in person. The Sanwu...

    Help buying first blue laser!!

    Just thought I'd add a few photos to the mix. I have the stainless steel 488nm 150mW Sanwu Guardian. It's truly a gorgeous color, in my opinion. The below photos show the 488 in a couple settings, plus next to a 520nm green 1W. If you are interested in the Sanwu, let me know. I have their RGB...
