Hello all. I was directed to this forum for help with a dye laser, which I have already gotten. I am not into lasers as much as I once was. I started out way back, with some HeNe lasers, then red pointers when they came out. Not long after I bought an X60 argon with both single and multimode optics. Then the green pointer came when they became affordable, with a couple 405's after that. Then I saw a ring dye laser for a good price on Ebay and bought it, as well as a 5w argon head. Unfortunately this head was not one of the better ones(research before you buy) and had high gas pressure, and I had no power supply for it either. So the dye sat and sat as my little argon didn't have the power to pump it. I bought a 3D printer, and maybe a year ago bought a 3W 405nm laser to some day mount on it. And that's where I am today. I really have too many other hobbies, and am married, so don't have much time for my lasers. At one time, I had also considered trying to make holograms, but that never progressed past the thinking part, and a few chemicals. I had also thought about making a copper vapor laser, but never did.
Anyway, thanks for the help I have so far received!
