So a little while back I got kind of bored with my 445nm Ehgemus....
It worked fine. Put out about 1.5W with a g1 lens. It just wasn't doing enough for me anymore though.
So I sent it to Angelos for some tough love and care, asked him to polish and upgrade it.
I got the laser back... and WOW. Opening it... it's now a near MIRROR finish. I feel awful just touching it without putting on gloves :crackup: Already managed to get the finish a little messed up in a couple of spots :banghead: I really wish aluminum was more resilient.
I haven't had the change to LPM it until tonight though.
This is where I think my jaw actually dropped.
The formerly 1.5W laser, that I expected to maybe get 1.8W from... 2.3W :wave::worthy:
I'll get some pictures up over the weekend. For now I just wanted to share my jaw-dropping excitement
