Beam Combiner

Anyone know of another place to purchase these kinds of beam combiners?

Quad Beam Combiner ELITE | Micro Laser Labs

This one combines the output of 4 separate laser diodes into one beam.
:thinking:

Not as a complete package. That particular one hasn't been sold for years.

You can buy knife-edge mirror mounts that are functionally similar to the mounts in red from Lasever for $20 each or so; they also have the polarized beam-combiner cube that would normally be attached to the top knife-edge mount. Then buy some heatsinks for the diodes (these 12mm CNC shaft supports might work too), and a metal plate to mount to. It's more work, but will work the same with some tuning.

thanks for your reply!!! I'll check it out!

Have you ever built anything like this?

No, or at least it's not complete. Andycon has built some beam combiners using knife-edging though.

I'm also trying to combine 2 or 3 beams, whatever will fit best in a 1 inch diameter host. I was doing some research and thought maybe a plano-concave lens from thor Labs might do the trick; but not sure.
