    Laser pointer Power Reduction

    those arent gonna dim it tho, but you should know that. Itl make it brighter in a more focused spot, I thought you already had those All the ND filter is gona do is dim it safely as long as you catch the reflection. call me confused

    Laser pointer Power Reduction

    the ND filter is about the same size as 25mm, actually less than 20mm. a thought appeared to me, the filter will produce a significant reflection, so it may need housing or a beam stop or something, if u get it. Youve reached dpss size, nice.

    Laser pointer Power Reduction

    It has no effect on the shape of the beam, it goes right thru. There was a pack of cheap 16$ ND2-ND16 and inbetween, those were melting on contact with my 65mw regular beam size, it made the dot warp quickly. Ive been playing with my ND8 laser with no changes for months now. SO.. if it has an...

    Laser pointer Power Reduction

    check my posts on my profile about my 488-492nm 60-70mw dimming using an ND filter No guarantees if it will work with such high power. Key things to heed, safety glasses which u should already have, keeping the ND filter reflected away from the diode. Anyways I did talk about trying with higher...

    Using ND filter to dim a 60-70mw 488nm-492nm laser

    I found with this laser to remove the spring in the lenses. Ive been trying to align the dot for months and never got it right fully, there was always some kind of artifact or wideness and if it managed to get it aligned by tapping the culmination lens slightly, it moves by the smallest touch...

    Using ND filter to dim a 60-70mw 488nm-492nm laser

    The only other option Im willing to currently eplore is potentiometer adjustment and I took it apart which there was none on the driver. What a wealth of ideas o_0 Im happy with what Ive got, its nice to have those ideas here for the taking on our thread.

    Path to orange - Advice?

    what a mad scientist effort that is. We achieved it, but at what cost xD

    Path to orange - Advice?

    I request that you give super continuum a shot, probably wont be in the valkyrie cause of the fiber. Les' lab on youtube showed that he did it for about 100$, could you shrink the process to portable? Is it even possible with a small diode, not sure. who may not see the video, He used an old gas...

    Using ND filter to dim a 60-70mw 488nm-492nm laser

    I started thinking and with common sense, you wouldn't use a over powered laser to play with, with no glasses. So there must be some kind of threshold where the beams brightness begins to degrade a normal ND filter. Someone could use a 200mw laser or something off the top of my head and try to...

    Using ND filter to dim a 60-70mw 488nm-492nm laser

    Ah dang, well after i read this I checked my filter and so far it's ok and un damaged. I wonder when I'd need to replace the filter or if ever being that the laser is under 70mw Also awesome that I pointed the beam to a dark matte surface on a guess I was worrying that it could damage the...

    Using ND filter to dim a 60-70mw 488nm-492nm laser

    Experiment success! There's been no melting on the 12$ Amazon go pro ND filter and id love to see someone come out with a stronger laser and try a darker filter. If you're afraid of melting, try getting multiple filters and stack them from ND4 next ND8 next ND16. I consider this a great...

    Safe Low Power 405 nm Laser Module review

    cool review nice to see a low powered 405nm I got a china $1 pointer and with my eyeballs and research it must be 45mw. Its much too bright for me I really want something 30mw or less
