New Rayfoss Tri-Color laser

[Prototype]

I was unsure where this should go, so I chose here as it isn't any one particular color.

Rayfoss

I was just wondering what your thoughts were on this, and if it's worth the money. At the least, you have an RGV, if you feel like pulling it open.

Ehh, for the price it doesnt look worth it to me... Looks like they just crammed 3 modules together and put diffraction grating in front of it...

 

[Rob]

Definitely interesting but I agree with Jeff. Just too expensive for what it offers.

Well, it's a 250mw laser xD is anyone alredy thinking in pbs cubes?

650nm-100mW,532nm-50mw.405nm-100mw

Wait... so there's no way of using it without the diffraction grating?

Probably, I guess... The beams don't look like they're aligned though...

'Beam shape: Star-Effect only.' Nope, without pulling the front off, I don't think there is, Niko.

Without being able to remove the grating this is JUNK...IMHO

You'll be able to remove the grating no doubt... Whether it's worth it, that's the question...

What the hell went through their minds when they were designing the laser, then?

"Hey, let's make a laser with only a secondary beam option available for no reason!".

 

[Meatball]

haha exactly, what purpose could this even be used for?

"Hey guys, check out my new laser! It's got 3,000 lasers in one!"

I agree with jeff, i looks like three modules all facing forward and shining through a grating, no other optics to over lay the three beams into one another. If this is the case all you would need is 2 optics to combine the 3 beams into a RGV laser.

Who wants to try it out? :anyone:oke:
