Hey guys, I threw together this android app and thought I would share.
I've wanted to make this app ever since I got my Radiant X4 LPM. After much metering, I began to play with exporting the graph data from Lightwave and loading multiple charts to compare.
I also have used Peregrine with my...
Hey guys, thought I would post my two 462nm builds.
First is the NDB7675 9mm 462nm diode driven by a 1.8A X-drive. I wound up putting it in a ZeroLaser Chunk host.
The pictures definitely aren't the best, but I tried! Maybe one day I'll get a real camera, but till then, I try to make do...
I searched around and could find anything like this, so I'll throw this out there.
I recently started a new 9mm 445nm diode build. I took the 1.8A fixed x-drive from my Trustfire A8 build and put it in a skyray with a new diode. It was working fine, till the third time I fired it up. It came on...
I found this while watching Vsauce2 on youtube.
Viewpoint: A Long-Term Memory for Light
I still remember when I first heard about light being slowed down to 40MPH. This is awesome. Optical memory, REAL holograms, the Holodeck...
Thank you Lasers!
Hey guys, i found this video for us 405nm lovers that shows how to get the fluorescein out of highlighters.
I've seen a few people trying to find fluorescein, so I'm posting this how to i found:
Hope you guys like!
Ok, I grabbed THIS at my local home depot a few weeks ago. A two pack for nine bucks, hoping they might make decent host. After dissasembly, it wasn't promising.
Then i got three fasttech modules. I was wanting to put them in something simple, mainly to use it easily. Then i happened to think...
Hey guys, another build to share. My first single mode too!
For this build:
Survival Lasers C6 host kit w/blue aluminum heat sink, pre-drilled pill and battery contact board -> Survival Lasers
Osram PL450B 450nm diode in copper module with leads and G2 lens -> DTR
Microboost driver ->...
Hey guys, just wanted to share my first green build...with a shiny new Osram PL520 diode. :san:
I was too excited to think of documenting the build, but it's pretty much the same as most of my builds. When I get my osram 450 build up check it out for pics of how it went together.
First, all...
Hey guys, I'm finally reviewing one of the many builds I have recently plowed through.
Technically, this is my third build, but I have more complete data on this one. Plus, it's a more "professional" version of the very first laser I built. ;)
Parts (with links) in this build:
1 - 650nm 300mW...
I just wanted to say thanks to all three of you. DTR and Moh have shipped every one of my orders very fast, and between all of you I was able to build my first two lasers in less than a month.
Special thanks to DTR for putting up with all my questions and being very helpful.
You guy are...
I finally got a few (bad) beam shots and a couple of vids of my first build.

Of course the first thing I did with it was... Particle Trapping! :D
I also discovered that almost dried out wire...
I saw one of these at a local hobby store and snagged one. It is interesting on it's own, but of course i had to shoot it with lasers. :D
They come in different colors, but i got the clear one.
The link below shows what they look like (there may be better, i just grab this).

So I have begun my first build. I wanted to keep it simple, and since I lack a red laser, I chose this approach. I actually have finished the the electrical assembly and tested it. So far, so good. :D
I chose as a host a cheap dollar store led flashlight that runs on 3AAA in a sled. It's...
Hi everyone. I have always been fascinated by lasers. I own several of the common cheap red pointer found everywhere. I also got a <5mW green( paid about $70 for it years ago) as well as a 405nm with a built in "star feild" type rotating lens. I also just recieved a new PL-E v3 445nm 1.5w...
