Achieving a smaller beam diameter with 803T optics

Awww meany!

Wait! I have lasers! And lots of em!
You should have built a lock that required an ultra narrow & low scatter beam only achievable with SW-AW210 optics.

Who are you to presume that it DOESN'T require narrow divergence and low scatter? And I don't know if SF-AW210 optics will do that. But I could (and may or may not have done this) make sure it doesn't work with PHR optics so you'd (probably) have to at least try SF-AW210 optics.

Now where did I leave my plasma cutter? (oh yea, still at the store) Perhaps its easier just to try those SF-AW210 optics.
Gee alot of work for pretend cookies.

a lot*

"alot" is not a word. Just FYI.

Yea the spell check always yells at me when I write alot, but I just tend to ignore it. I should try to listen because misspellings can make one seem dim. :undecided: Somehow I must have started using & it seems I got quite use to it.

I don't see why this wouldn't work with SF-AW optics. All of the sleds use different lenses which is a good and a bad thing. Generally you want to find a sled with the smallest objective lens. I actually have an objective lens so small that you can't even focus a LCC by directly placing the lens on the can. The lens works great on a LOC but I don't have any at the moment.
The problem with these lenses is that you cannot get good divergence using them due to the shape of the lens. The scatter around the dot is caused from the concentric rings engraved on the lens, but is barely noticeable when the flat side of the lens is facing the laser diode.
