Jet lasers is not excepting my card due to some b.s. what's another good company?

 

[Isaac Clarke]

hmm...i've been trying to pm you did you receive and text??

 

[Yoshi1988]

I gave you my number... Do you have it?

 

[Yoshi1988]

Isaac what company is good except for jet?

 

[Isaac Clarke]

-Yh i did....
- do you have skype?

-Sanwu

-Scifi

-And that pretty much it.....

 

[Yoshi1988]

Put a 1 in front of my number... Of that doesn't work I don't know what to do... And sci-fi and Sanwu don't sell 532nm

 

[Yoshi1988]

I wanted a visable beam... Isn't 520nm not as visible?

532nm and 520nm are very close in visibility, I myself prefer 520nm just because it's not DPSS. You can only tell the difference in color if you compared them side by side.

What's a good 520nm then? I'm looking at sci-fi or sanwu.... I want something with a very impressive beam..

I don't know what your budget is, I can't recommend a specific laser but I can tell you where to buy parts to build one. I built mine myself from parts, but I can tell you that even only 82mW has a visible beam in dim lighting, but I guess if you want something impressive you will want a bit more power than that. Try this one in the 200 - 300mW range:
SF501B 520nm Forest Green
That one would be built with the PLP520-B1 diode instead of the weaker PL520 that I am using.

So it says duty cycle 60sec on off... How exactly does that work?

 

[Yoshi1988]

How impressive is the Arcane 2.0 520nm 1000mw?

 

[Isaac Clarke]

you can see a beam in a well lit room.

duty cycle means you run a the laser a certain amount of time then have to turn it off..

 

[Yoshi1988]

So are all 520nm 1 watts pretty much the same? As far as sci-fi and Sanwu

 

[Pi R Squared]

So it says duty cycle 60sec on off... How exactly does that work?

That means no more than 60 seconds on at a time and at least 60 seconds off before you turn it on again, otherwise it may overheat and burn out the diode.

How impressive is the Arcane 2.0 520nm 1000mw?

That is $370.99 for the 1W+ version but the beam will be about as impressive as you can get in a hand held battery powered laser. If you pointed it at the international space station (don't do that) they would be able to see it if they were looking out the window.

The beam on a 1W 520nm is insane. As Alan said, about one of the best you'll get from a handheld laser.

Take a look at the beam shots from this thread I made, that's not even topping one watt. The shots there aire 800mW of 520nm.
