This is a video of WL Fusion and Novalasers x105 with thermal camera.
WL design is better because of heat dissipation. Having 2 seperate parts makes Nova more difficult to dissipate heat.
Heat, trapped behind the front part and effect the diode and cyrstals more!
Hope you like the video

Very nice movie. I sure we all wish we had access to nice toys like that. I for one would LOVE to see how well my Kryton barrels stays nice and cool with a red laser diode at 350mw.

You are right this is a hell expensive thing to say a toy
This is my friends FLIR
He is a science crazy guy like me.
I am lucky to have a friend like him.
If you check my other videos there is also a video shows laser burning my hand
I discovered that when it is 42 degrees it is hard to keep your hand in front of the beam!

Very nice to be albe to see what exactly is going on like that!

It too bad these cameras are so expensive - you could even use them to measure laser power with a suitable black ceramic tile as the target.
