50mW O-like Blue 473nm DPSS Review
Well to start my review I must say that the service from o-like was top notch! They planned to ship the unit the day after I ordered, but informed me that there was a scratch on the power supply. They changed the unit over for me and shipped the next day. I'm glad they done that, a lot of companies would keep you waiting for days or weeks before shipping, and not bother checking for scratches or defects. The whole thing came well packaged in polystyrene and bubble wrap, all the needed cables
( Modulation and power ) were included.
Now to the actual laser! The system as a whole is very compact and well built feeling. It looks very good too. The beam is of good quality, low divergence and is also nice and thin. The unit performs above it's rated specs at 65-70mW of 473nm output and after it's warm up is quite stable. I'll do some tests later on to confirm the actual divergence.
I so far have no complaints about this module, it's a very nice unit . I'd certainly recommend it ! Another good product Susie
.
I'm going to give the unit a 24-48hour "burn in" to make sure all is well before shipping it off to Remux for him to use in his projector.
Pictures will come later, but they won't do the lovely blue colour and justice I'm also going to get some comparison pictures of 532nm, 473nm and 442nm ( If I can get my HeCd laser to work properly! ). I'll also do a test with it in my projector to see how the modulation holds up.
Hope you all enjoyed this somewhat short review, I will add to it later after some more testing and picture taking,
PICTURES !
The heatsink you can see is just to make sure everything stays cool during the "burn in".
Sorry for the strange angles and horrible quality. I will upload some high resolution pictures with no weird angles on them later when my sister returns home from work and finds the USB cable.
