Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to drop a quick post here to get started.
I've never built a laser but have had the drive to do so for a while now. I've only one pointer (nothing special) it being a red pointer one of my professors gave me in college years ago.
My main exposure to lasers was during my time working as a house photographer for a huge House / Trance / Drum & Bass nightclub in Washington DC called NATION which has since been torn down. I worked with a laser display company called P.A.W.N. Lasers & photographed many of their light patterns they produced with their custom laser rig. On several occasions I was able to see the internal workings of the box & was amazed at what I was seeing even though I didn't understand one bit of it. I was impressed at how it was cooled by constant running water from regular water hoses running into & out of the box.
I'm aspiring to build my own rig on a smaller scale with the limited knowledge I have & feel it may actually be possible with the wealth of knowledge from everyone here.
Until I get to that point I'm trying to boost my collection of pointers from the red one my professor gave me to include a Green burner, a blu-ray, violet & a yellow one. If anyone has any to sell at a decent price please let me know.
Thank you,
Alfie C. Santos
