I graduated from Rose-Hulman in 2002, and University of Louisville in 2007 with a Masters. I work in industrial automation, though, so most of our stuff is powered by 480VAC. My circuit designs don't scale well to lasers.

Guys (and Gals !)
Will - who was it over at spectraforums that said that about the glass lenses, do you recall ?

It was Kyle. He bought some of the glass lens models from you in the GB, and was surprised to hear you say that you preferred the acryllic.

In fact, you said in another thread, that the plastic lens doesn't collimate but the glass one does. Doesn't that mean that the glass one would be better?

I think I read it somewhere where he said that plastic is probably better for IR collimating, but glass is better for red... I could be wrong though :-?
