I am thoroughly impressed ! What a beautiful and incredibly tight & shaped yellow beam !!! Truly !


That kind of laser is really not my cup of tea

^^^ Funny! :D I love watching Mr Bean.

Alaskan, maybe you should stick with your DPSS's for now before moving/taking on dyes. ;)

Planters, excellent stuff. +rep and a YT like from me. :beer:

I just posted a new video on my YouTube channel. This is the culmination of a couple of years of work on a very high energy, 580nm pulsed dye laser. It will be followed, in short order, by several more videos that go deeper into its operation and additional demonstrations of its performance. I hope you like it.

Persistence pays off--nice work.

Excellent video, great job.

You are right, I already have too many things waiting to be built before I move on to a dye laser, I just like yellow and lots of it :)

Reminds me of a very old Bill Cosby routine where he is a sports figure doing a commercial for hair cream. At the end he says, "now let's compare combs. See, yours is green and mine is orange."

Just watched your video planters, really interesting stuff!

Sometimes I forget that modern optics are so heavily intertwined with electronics. :whistle:

And that's some octocopter!

The next video in this series is now up.

Hope you enjoy it.


Thank you for that.

Is one amazingly high level and very detailed hobby you have going on there and very well done effort. Awesome Aerovox Aerostor capacitors .

The High Energy Laser Power Supply video is great--very clear explainations, very professionally done + fast enough pace that it is never boring.

Looking forward to the next one.

The new video was excellent! It reminded me of circuits class in EE school with the exception that I wasn't required to regurgitate a lot of equations for the induction and capacitance of these systems. I am very much looking forward to the next one. BTW, it was I who jokingly referred the manufacturer in the last video. It wasn't meant as a knock for plugging the company at all. Thanks, planters. I would rep you again, but it won't let me right now.
