    Coherent 488-20 for 100 bucks - go for it?

    There is a coherent 488-20 laser on my local auctioning site with mainboard, in working condition (at least the seller says so - I'll need a proof anyway). Is it a good deal?

    TEC Controllers for DPSS Lasers - a question

    Hello I have several medium and big dpss lasers that I am going to use in my RGB projectors. Unfortunately there is a problem - I have no temperature controllers for TEC cells and when I looked up their prices I was shocked - they are ABSURDLY expensive and I am never going to pay almost as...

    Cylindrial lens cutting - is it possible?

    Hello Red laser modules in my RGB projectors have beam correction (cylindrical lenses) - as you can see on the photo, more than half space of the lens is left unused. Since lenses like that are even more expensive than diodes, I was wondering if I could somehow cut them in two without breaking...

    Z-Fold Laserwave 532 reallignment question

    Hello Is anyone here (preferably in Europe) willing to reallign my 532nm 1W laser module for a moderate price? Component placing is completely busted (cause it was dismantled) and it doesn't lase (parts are totally fine though). It is a Z-fold type cavity so I gave up on doing it myself - I'm...

    Rofin DPSS YAG metal cutting laser teardown

    I bought an unknown (used) laser head from local site. No info no datasheet, it turned out to be a high power diode pumped YAG laser. Look what I've found inside: Large YAG rod in flowtube, appears to be in perfect shape Diode compartments Opened one I'll have problems with testing...

    1kW Laser for cheap - worth buying?

    I found an interesting offer on my local auctioning site. Can anyone tell me what the hell is this and is it worth buying (for like 150$) - only things specified are: this is a laser, and it has over 1kW output power (no wavelength info). If diodes don't work (which I assume is true, too cheap...

    C-Mount 808nm broken lead - How to fix?

    What is the best way to attach a broken negative lead in C-mount diodes? Careful soldering or some kind of conductive glue? I accidentally broke of negative lead from high power 808nm IR pump and I need to get it working again. What are your methods of dealing with this kind of situation?

    Help needed - jury rigging a PSU from incomplete one

    Hello I have 2 argon laser heads, one NLC 800 Series (quite large) and one Uniphase 2211 (in very good condition, got it from local auctioning site). Unfortunately I can't do anything with them since I don't have a proper PSU. I have an argon laser PSU from scrapyard which is somewhat working...

    Help! How to allign CNI lab lasers?

    Hello I have several EXTREMELY misalligned CNI lab lasers (532nm) - crystals and all stuff were taken out and placed inside again - they unfortunately dont work because of that, and I am completely unable to allign them by hand, it's just so damn tedious. Can anyone tell me how to do it...

    NLC Series 600 Argon (Wont start)

    Hello I've found a NLC 600 argon laser on local scrapyard (I took it from high performance printing station), with PSU. Said PSU powers up and works normally, laser fans start ,but unfortunately it will not lase, current meter doesnt move, there is no discharge glow. Every 30 seconds or sth...

    CNI MGL-H need help with crystal allignment

    Hello I had CNI blue H series 473 laser (500mW) and I decided to change the crystal set for green one cause I need at least 1.5W green laser, unfortunately I can't allign it properly, no matter where I move the crystal assembly, power is AT BEST comparable to my CNI MGL 500mW, and the mode is...

    Overspec pump diode?

    Hello Lately I've bought a 500mW lab 532 laser (used) and I wasnt satisfied with quality of beam so I decided to take it apart for realigning. After some testing on the bare diode, I've come to conclusion that it MAY be much more powerful pump diode than needed, with limited current. For 500mW...

    For sale: Laser modules with drivers

    Hello I have some laser modules with drivers (and one with ac/dc supply) for sale, they were removed from rgb laser that I decided to upgrade. All in working condition. No price tags, just make your offer. No power ratings because I dont have a power meter. B200 405nm laser module with driver...

    Spectra physics PSU - worth it?

    Hello I've wanted to buy an argon laser for a loooong time, unfortunately in my country I could never find it on ANY auction sites. I've found a argon laser psu though, for ~40$ - this particular model has outlet for interface but maybe it can be overriden somehow, and is it worth to buy this...

    Help needed with CNI green (pics)

    Hello I've bought a CNI 500mw 532nm module (with oem power supply for disco scanners) with 30 kpps galvos and showcard for around ~120$. Module is working fine, but I saw some day (on other site) people upgrading those particular modules to 1w, and even 1.5w 532 - as far as I know crystals can...

    Estimated power of this module? (video)

    Hello I've found (on polish 'ebay') a blue module from laserworld 4000rgb, seller uploaded a video of testing this module. He used some CRAZY voltage (8.8v and 2A) and the laser didnt fail. He claims that this is 1.5w module but at this barbaric voltage 1.5w blue would instantly fizzle, i think...

    Small DPSS combo crystal SUPER OVERDRIVE

    I have a small (like 1x1x4) NdYVO+KTP crystal from (broken) 100 mW disco module, I decided to mess up with it for a while since I dont really need it for anything. I took my 2.5 W 808nm pump diode (REAL overkill, I know) and checked how it will work with too small crystal. Results are quite...
