So today on some spur of the moment thought I decided to make some laser dye with highlighter juice and isopropyl alcohol. I used my band saw to cut some acrylic for containing the dye, however, the hot glue-sealing operation got so messy I probably didn't need to make such a fuss over it.
Here is the dye cell with dye in it.
I started by pumping it with a 532nm green from a projector I made a while ago, but for a few reasons, I didn't get as much light production as I wanted.
This gave me an idea, What if it becomes a diode-pumped, dye night light?
So here is the final product, it is battery powered so I wouldn't really use it as a night light, but my cat seemed to like it while it ran.
