Merged 445nm Pictures and Video Thread

Re: Mario's class IV 445nm Kryton + projector pics

The laser may not have been focused as best as it could, plus that tends to be a camera artifact. Pictures tend to turn out like that even with my greens sometimes.
 





Re: 445nm "sled" pics

Hell yeah this is epic (@ Jayrob).

1: it's TRUE BLUE!!
2: It's a class IV 500mw+ freakin laser!
3: It's a diode, so easy to use
4: its only 50 frikkin dollars!!!
5: do we really even need a five?

PS: Let me get this straight, this diode will run perfectly fine under the standard aixiz acrylic? No need for any additional special lenses? I will probably get a 405-G-1 just cuz....600mW blue laser ftw....that and the acrylic will no doubt get owned by the epic power of said laser, but it's fine just in the standard lens?

Cool :)

Hey Mario,

Have you tried mounting the OEM lens into the aixiz nut? From what i've been told they are 6.5mm as well?

On another note, I also have a kryton waiting, who would have thought that the click switches would be end up being the weak spot? :D Though 1.5A isn't much tbh...?

I will start hunting for a decent XA rated clicky switch of the same dimensions, will post, if anything comes up.


Best Regards,
brtaman

I just tried it and the lens did sit inside the lens nut nicely but I couldn't get the lens close enough to the diode to focus it properly. Will experiment more to see if I can get it closer
 
Re: 445nm "sled" pics

It will work with a standard acrylic lens, but I would make sure the lens holder (black plastic threaded part) is opened up in the back. There is usually a small hole in the back of the acrylic lens assembly, this must be removed or expanded considerably or the back will melt under this kind of power.
 
Re: 445nm "sled" pics

Not only that but the melted plastic fumes may sit on your diode window.
 
Re: 445nm "sled" pics

Yeah I'm thinking at that power glass is a must...

In a few days, we'll know what lens configuration will be best with all the people testing... :)

I only really have three lenses in mind to test for now...

* Stock projector lens
* AixiZ 405 glass
* 405-G-1

Yep, aspherics are still rotationally symmetric.

And if they weren't, then some clever engineering can be done to make a lens housing that can use the action of turning a nut to translate the position of the lens (thereby focusing the light) without actually rotating the lens.

That is what I need to adjust my cylinder lens.
Maybe I'm going to try this with this 445nm diode, maybe I can achieve good beam if I include cylinder lens.

But this is going to be tricky without having access to lathe machine.

Howcome the beam appears thinner in the middle?
Click to expand...

I see this from time to time. It happens when the beam is really close to the camera, so it appears large. And as any object gets further away, it seems to shrink. Then, finally divergence becomes noticeable and it appears to grow in size again.

5A click switches:
SWITCH ROCKER DPDT MOM BEZEL 5A - A205J51ZQ0004

datasheet on em:

Did you want tail cap clickies? Like on LED flashlights? If so then I don't think those will work, those are more like side clickies. I will do more digging for tailcaps now, and if those will do...then you'll just have multiple options :na:

PS: First post in the new 445nm section :D

Some clicky switch options, they don't give any technical info on em. But here they are:

Those won't work not just because he needs an end-click switch, but because he would need to order 500 of them at once, at a cost of almost $2000.

Edit: And it appears they are only momentary on switches.

What about the other 4 options? Would THEY work?
