Not touching a DPSS. Ever. I've done it before with a laser of my own, and I will never do it for someone else. Maybe replace a pump diode, but that's about it.

We're talking about movements in the micrometer scale determining if you see green or dim red.

Well dang! Whole lotta money for a device that cannot be worked on. But ... whateryagonnado? 80mW of 589 is 80 mW of 589. So you get to use it for a while and when its gone ... its gone. :toilet:
 





Don't drop it. These won't just give out.

With diodes, we overcharge them, they die, we replace them. It's basically you charge them at what you are willing to lose. However these are meant to have 10,000 hours at when proper rules are obeyed.
 
Thanks. Good to know. I should live so long to get 10k hrs out of a laser.:D
 
Glad I was able to get you to enjoy lasers for more than rifle sights :)

Enjoy them!

No more thread derailment :)
 
Well, I have sent Ava and email regarding everything as well as a curiosity question for myself.

Hello again Ava,

I am contacting you today because I will be taking over the CNI Group Buy that **** ****** was putting together. He doesn't have a whole lot of time on his hands and was going to be unable to continue organizing the Group Buy. I am fairly excited to be working with you to get as many possible CNI lasers sold to as many possible of my customers.

I have a few questions right now. After tallying up all of the interested parties, I have about 15 people interested in the 589nm PGL-III-C 80mW Lasers. However, when **** relayed to us the 10pcs discounted cost per unit many people are quickly getting ready to jump ship on this since the price is much higher than in the previous group buy. So I would like to ask:

1. Why has the 10pcs price on the 80mW 589nm units increased from $585 to $700? I noticed that the cost per unit without the discount has stayed the same. I am hoping that it was simply an error, and that I can get the go ahead from my customers to start the final stages of this group buy.

Right now, here are the numbers I have regarding interest per wavelength:

473: 5
532: 6
561: 1
589: 15

671: 2

Some of those numbers are overlapping, aka a person would be interested in a 473 OR a 589, depending on price and interest. So if 15 589's are purchased, we may only see 3 473's purchased.

I would personally like to inquire about any other wavelengths possible in a handheld form factor. Can you produce any wavelengths between the 593.5nm line and the 635nm line and fit them in a handheld host? I am very interested in seeing if the technology is there, and if it is, what a 1pc cost would be.

Additionally, a number of my customers who are interested in the 473nm Lasers would like to know if your engineers can put the 473nm Pointer into a Black GLP form factor which takes AAA or 10440 LiIon batteries instead of the Blue CR-2 Pointer form factor it typically comes in.

I think that is more than enough questions to burden you with right now. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks,

Isaac T***

Hey WBS,
I posted earlier I would be in for a 589 nm if it was a 50 mw (since that was the highest power listed on the new price list). If you can get the 80mw at around 600 bills like in the last GB 10 pc price that would be even better. Either way I will be in for a 589 in this GB
 
Great email, hope it works :)

Edit: anything around 480-500nm would also be very, very cool!

585 is a smoking deal for a yellow. 80mW is usually in the quad digits to buy. Even 700 is a good deal... The crystals alone are likely the bulk of that cost, let alone the alignment. a ppKTP is pretty expensive last I checked...
 
pretty sure I'll be in for a 80mW 589, but I need to know when the due date would be to say for sure. Also, earlier in this thread 1W 532s were mentioned for like $520 I think? is this for real?
 
Still have my eye on the thread .
Praying to the ********* monster that they'll reduce the price .

It appears spagehetti is censored ...
wut?

That sounds right from memory. But don't expect stability at such a high power in a PGL-III-C host... I imagine it'd quickly start mode hopping and overheating pretty fast.
