Lasos Argon Laser - 45mW Multiline Beam Goodness

[jcranmer]

So I've been meaning to get this done and posted for months now, so without any more delay. Here are the beam shots:

Looks like I really need to clean the lens on my camera. Since I normally just use my iPhone this one doesn't get out much. It's really needed for these low powered beam shots.

These were done with no fog or smoke in the air. Just long exposures.

That's beautiful :O

Thanks guys. She is beautiful. This was only the 2nd laser I bought from here. I got this one from Trevor.

Argons may be a tad on the large size but the color more then makes up for any hassle.

Now all I need is a good way to split each beam out. I'm not found of the way using a cd works.

A diffraction grating is what you need to split up those beautiful beams. There was a thread recently with that info, I'll try to find it.

I remember it say how many lines the diffraction grating should have because if you have too many, the lines won't be very bright.

LSRFAQ is extremely knowledgeable, if he said it you can take to the bank. :beer:

Thanks! I have some 1000 lines per MM gratings. I'll try them the next time I unbox it and post some photo's here. I need to get some more soon.

I've got a great prism here somewhere. Hmm, I'll see if I can find it.

Cool. Let me know if you find it and want to let it go.

I love these LASOS argons.
They are one of the very few (small-frame, air-cooled, argon lasers) that have a glass bulb portion to the tube.
It isn't very often that one gets to see that argon gas ion glow in a small-frame, air-cooled laser.

VERY COOL! :drool:

Peace,
