When will a 1W portable green laser arrive?

[MarioMaster]

bluray does work well in making white, but the balance has to be adjusted accordingly as the wavelength is a good bit different to DPSS blue

Until we can afford portable white light lasers....for the next best thing, google: 'Maxablaster'

P.S. Finney's D Cell maglite laser mods were peltier/fan cooled and ran on Lipo sticks

I think y'all should remember why peltiers are used in lab modules in the first place. They aren't there for cooling, they are there for active temperature regulation. With DPSS you don't want it to just be cold, ideally the diode and each of the crystals will each be regulated to maintain a certain temperature. At the very least though, you want to regulate the diode temperature. This way you get decent efficiency. Just keeping the diode at the right temp can mean the diff between 1W output, and 100mW output (or no output at all if you just try cooling it).

As for heat pipes and heatsinks and TECs and all that? Sounds to me like you might as well just take a lab module and hook up a battery power source to it and call it portable. To me, portability kinda ends once you reach the size of the Hercules - even that one is pushing the borders. I have a 200mW argon-ion gas laser that's technically portable. You close the top and there's a handle on it to carry it to the field (for forensics work). A nice 50 lb thing to lug around. So I guess a 1W greenie portable is readily possible... depending on how you define portability

Believe it not gonna be some hideous looking 5-10 pound heatsink lol its all gonna be aesthtically pleasing and functional, the prototype is gonna look a alittle goof but hey lol im trying

Why the hell did Blade ever need silver bullets and a silver coated sword? :-?
