Old User, Back after a long break

[IsaacT]

Hello all,

Some of you may remember me, some of you may have forgotten by now, but I used to be quite active on the site. About 8 months ago or so I got pretty addicted to World of Warcraft(I was playing for 8+ hours PER DAY) and my activities on this forum plummeted. About a month and a half ago I quit WoW for good but try as I might I couldn't remember my password to get back on here.

Well, I finally got my password reset after trying all my different emails, and I am back. Now, I'm not about to go building a bunch of lasers, mainly because I am po(so poor I can't afford the r) and I need to pay for college. But we'll see how it goes. For now, I am just glad to be back and hope ya'll are all doing swell.

How has it been since I have been gone? Has "TheCompanyWhichMustNotBeNamed" blessed the world with something else or have things quieted down?

Sincerely,
Wannaburnstuff

PS- Sadly, the Jetlasers I had that was so smexy has died so my profile picture is the last I will see of that brilliant beam.

Well if you didn't know single diode builds can get above 3w now with the newish 9mm 445nm diodes

 

[IsaacT]

3W?! Holy hell! I am guessing DEFINITELY Multi-mode? Still tho, so much power! I remember someone getting one to 2300 or so mW, but 3 is a whole new level of dayum!

Yup, multi mode Some have even got extremely lucky with 3.2W! 2.5W is not uncommon now from the 9mm diodes.

2.5W is not uncommon now from the 9mm diodes.

Nor is it uncommon from M140's which are half the price

Welcome back long time no talkie, hope all is well with you and yours :beer:

Welcome back!

They have a single mode 450nm at 1.4W now I think that's very impressive.
Well not technically but closer than the 9mm or the M140 from a beam comparison.

Those single mode PL450s can get to 300mW, cant they?:thinking:

I may have missed some incredible breakthrough but from my knowledge there are no single mode 445nm diodes capable of that output. You are likely running an A140 or an M140 for that output. Both of which are multimode. If you have indeed located a single mode of that output PLEASE enlighten me.

Brother.... first I said 450nm. Secondly if you really read my post closer I said
not technically, BUT CLOSER than the 9mm or M-140.:na:

The better beam spec than a M-140 BUT 450nm diode that jander6442 was talking about.
:thanks:

Thought it was a joke anyway cause you wrote down mW and people connect the `1.4´ automatically to Watts


Welcome back wannaburnstuff!

I still know you :beer:

Ah, lol I missed the little details. I was reading it through my phone's browser

I was posting it on the EVo also damn grammar fix.

Nice to see you back in the heard wannaburnstuff...
pull up a seat and sit on the floor...:wave:
