Re: FS: 405-G-1 Glass Lens Mod-28% Increase vs Aix

here is well collimated 405-G-1  lens
Output now 322mW !!!

ignore hexagonal artifact, as well as black dots near the center. The damn thing burns everything, including wall !!

Very nice, Milos. I hadn't noticed the line in the 405nm.

Peace,

Here is red open can with cheap aixiz glass lens -now 275mW    
ignore oval artifact in upper left side, but note cross line as well as "12 o'clock" vertical splash

and finally
here is red with 404-G-1 lens now 307mW

ignore oval artifect over still existing vertical splash.
Note smaller dot and longer cross line

[highlight]405nm-G-1  is worth every dollar [/highlight]though. It not only lets 28% light out giving you more power per amount of current which spares the diode, but it also spares diode extra heat, and beam backfire into the source which all adds up to longer and healthier life at higher power.

Its nice to see new thinner beam in both red and violet.

The damn thing burns everything, including wall !!

Miloš, thanks for posting back with your comments and great pictures!

It's good to know that experienced ones such as yourself approve of the 405-G-1 glass lens modification!

Told you it wants to burn everything it touches!

hehe, it was hard to have it collimated and take photos quickly before permanent marks are burned in. ))

Is this comparing the 405-G-1 glass lens vs AixiZ acrylic with red?

Acrylic on the right?

I asked the guy I work with that has a master's in optics and he said the line is most likely it is some stray light reflection off the diode face in a pattern that ends up getting focused in a line, but he wasn't sure. Just what he thought off the top of his head.

This line across the center is much more noticeable with the red builds that we are used to...

I don't even notice the line with blu-ray unless I am trying to look at the dot 'up close'.

I found that it is best to focus it with safty glasses on, then you can really look at the beam and get the best burn. You have to keep it moveing though. I'm useing it with a Igort 6X 1st batch 186 mw. It goes very good with the lens. ;D

Just to Add my Findings....

I took one of my Kenom builds.....measured 105mW on my meter

With this lens 140mW Steady...maybe even a tad more!

Axiz Acrylic lenses just plain STINK for a bluray build!!!!!

Ken...You ROCK!!!

Wow that's over 30% increase in power Larry!

Just curious, was the back of your AixiZ acrylic lens opened?

I did my comparisons with the AixiZ acrylic (back opened), and got 26 to 28% increase...

Re: FS: 405-G-1 Glass Lens Mod-28% Increase vs Aix

Yes....the back of the acrylic lens was open.


Jay..your lens had made this Kenom build come to LIFE!!!!!

Thanks for the work on this!!!

Can't believe I didn't see this sooner. Looking forward to seeing what my improved 200mW blu-ray can do!

Thanks a lot Jay
