ALC60X Argon (my first argon laser!)

Thats pretty cool - I might have to see if mine will light up a match :)

I know my dpss lasers do that trick, but be pretty neat to do it with the argon.
 





no offense to the other blue owners out there, but this is the sickest blue laser i have ever seen.
 
Wow, very nice argon bryce! You got a good one on your hands, 100mw is a damn nice number! :beer:
 
Here's some pics I took using a diffraction gradient. (click the link before each pic to see the full resolution picture)

Some at idle:

Now at full power!

Far out bryce those last full power shots look excellent.

I might steal one for my desktop.

*sigh* one week till I get my new camera, then I'll need a diffraction grating, and some scanners!

Edit: your laser now adorns the desktop of a pc all they way over in Sydney Australia (well the last diffraction grating shot, cropped a bit) :)

I'm thinking about picking up some scanners as well!
 
You're kidding. Right?

You know that the phosphores in a CRT, the color filters in an LCD and colored LEDs are not pure wavelengths. Right?

Laser lines are pure wavelengths. That's one of the things that makes them so unique.

Nice laser. I will have to see if mine will light matches. Sadly I don't have a way to measure a multiline.

Precisely. That means this sentence is not blue. It is a mixture of many different blue/indigo/violet/green colors, right?

I think it qualifies as correct colloquial English to call it blue. Most things that you see and identify as blue are way more than a single wavelength of light. Some people like to make an analogy between sound and light because both of them are measure in frequency or the inverse; wavelength, But that's really not such a great analogy. We can hear about 10 octaves of sound; that is frequencies from about 16Hz to 2 to the 10th times that; up to +16KHz. On the other hand we can't even see one full octave of light from about 700nm to 400nm is less than 2 to 1. Is that nonsensical, confusing and not answering your question enough? :rolleyes:

James. :)

You only have an optical LPM? Someone here might be willing to lend you a meter or meet up with you to meter the laser. :D
