Re: FS: >110mW & >150mW Blu-Rays - available
Yeah, wouldn't that be amazing?
The laser and the driver can both handle so much more, but there is no diode that would make full use of that yet!
Anyway, the first "12x" was shipped to me for an analysis, but i'm not too hopefull... That thing is too far in the future.. I think the so called 12x's are HD-DVD reader sleds, like the PHRs..
Otherwise, i didn't know there were new posts here. Last time i checked my favorites, last post was FrancoRob, and so was now, so i thought there was nothing new.. I forgot how enthusiastic FrancoRob is about lasers.. ;D
I have two batches of lasers i have to ship out this week, so i am kinda busy.. But i hope to start breathing soon...
But yeah, [highlight]the lenses work[/highlight]. I only ever use the AR coated glass lens in my 6x now. I actually feel bad if i have to put a plastic lens in to do a power measurement. ;D
I'm playing with them, to get a feeling for how they work. I also tested them on a red in the meanwhile.. A 265mW red (clear acrylic lens) becomes 310-315mW!
So i just need to get some funding together (don't want to be the only one without the lenses, after spending so much time and money on them!), and finish the lens nut design, and then we can do this thing!
[highlight]Notice to old buyers:[/highlight]
I will also need all my
old buyers to
contact me about the lenses soon, so i can add your orders to the group buy!
I also hope to soon be able to offer upgrades to better diodes for old lasers. The PHRs won't last forever.. I just need to figure out the terms, so i don't get 40 lasers to upgrade at once..
But you can contact me about it (next week please).. I also have some other upgrades in mind.... I'll post more info when i get a chance..
