Last minute Christmas gifts for the laser enthusiast; what would you like from Santa?

[steve001]

This more like a Christmas wish. To have all lasers that need it made with beam shaping optics for a round beam.

I'm also hoping for a Sony RX100 Mark 1 or 2 camera. Against my own good judgement I even created a go fund me for it.

I've recently read that the Sony RX100 image sensor is
the same as what is being used in the Phantom 4 Pro 4K
Camera.

Possibly. From what I hear it's a great sensor for low light conditions, and I want it for dusk/starry sky landscape photography. The camera also has an f-stop 1.8 and full manual mode which is rare in p&s cameras.

Ahaha, love the cat laser vision necktie. Gotta find me one of those!

How about a 6W green diode? Perhaps as a friend for our NUBM44? If Santa would like to use his powers :san:

6 watt green! Sign me up. Where's that petition to Santa? ( wait ),that would mean I'd have to have something in the good column. How much for a two watt? Heee

Since we're talking of gifts from Santa, and anything is possible, I'll take one of these for everyone here at LPF! Merry Christmas. :san:

BTW, can you make that in a handheld version while you're at it.

 

[Alaskan]

I'd readily accept that with a sincere thank you as well as I love you. I was just reading yesterday they use dye lasers for those.

Yes something like that. I was reading they use sodium lasers.

Oh, my dream observatory Jeff !!
Great thread mate.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Andrew, just for you it's the laser and the observatory, but you better have a pretty darned big Christmas tree to put it under!
