Hello All,
I recently became interested in lasers. (actually, the interest has been there forever, I just recently pursued it). I have been interested in nearly every electronic field at one time or another! My other hobbies include RC planes and multicopters (line-of-sight and first person view), motorcycles, Arduino code, HAM Radio (I am a licensed Amateur Extra Class. You can look me up on QRZ.com, my call is KF5PAL), Antenna building, Internet & PCs, Astronomy, LED Flashlights, Audio\Visual & Home Theater, Lasers, etc.,etc.,etc,....
In my research nearly every search led me to these forums so, I decided to join.
I recently started with a few of the eBay 301 host lasers. I have a 301 host in 532nm and one in 650nm. I also have a 301 host in 532nm with a different module (not sure which) that only says "Assassin" on it. (Came from a friend). This one is the brightest by quite a bit. I also have a few ordered which I have yet to receive: A low cost 405nm
High Power 405nm 5mW Purple Laser Pointer Pen Beam for 18650 Laser Holster | eBay
A 405nm from o-like:
New waterproof Blue laser 1W torch /focusable [OL-BLUW] - $54.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce
and a 1W 445nm PL model from laserbtb.
I initially ordered 2 pairs of the eBay laser safety goggles as well from a company called HDE. Before they arrived I saw a video online comparing the eBay quality goggles to Eagle Pair goggles. I then ordered the following:
Eagle Pair® 190-540nm & 900-1700nm Laser Safety Goggles
and
Eagle Pair® 190-400nm & 560-640nm Laser Safety Goggles
I value my eyesight!
I will eventually move towards building a laser. I am very DIY oriented!
That's about it for now. Thanks again for such an informative forum!
