Just got my Lazerer Greens but my 50mW has a spiffy output

[Kmor2004]

As the titel indicates I just received my LAzerer 50mW Cyber Black and "100mW" module, I decided to try and LPM both but shortly after powering up the Cyber I noticed it was a Dual dot:

Can you see it in the picture?

Do you also see the spiffy output I'm talking about?

.....

The "Blinds" effect, where it looks like it's being shown through a set of blinds and its giving Horizontal lines.

So I'm wondering if any pro's or at least more experienced folks know what that is from, and as far as LPM measuremnts go, I'd say its 45-65mW with an IR filter.

The dual dot probably means that your laser has a TEM01 transverse mode.

If that is what you were asking... :thinking:

Not really I was just pointing out the TEM01.

My actual question is what is causing the horizontal stripes, and just in case anyone asks no there is noting in from of the laser, nor is it due to the camera.

Can you get a better picture up? maybe on a dark even surface?

I do see what you mean but a better picture would help determine the cause.
