    LPM csv file graphing app

    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...

    NDB7675 "Chunk" and M462 Cypreus-II builds

    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...

    X-drive current jump

    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...

    Lasers used to stop light for 1 minute

    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!

    Extracting fluorescein from highlighters

    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!

    Defiant 50mW fasttech module

    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...

    PL520 S4 Build

    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...

    My Second 650nm build

    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...

    Props to DTR, Mohrenberg, and cliff

    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...

    Pics and particle trapping with first build

    I finally got a few (bad) beam shots and a couple of vids of my first build. Build found here: http://laserpointerforums.com/f50/first-build-650nm-300mw-81263.html#post1166739 Of course the first thing I did with it was... Particle Trapping! :D I also discovered that almost dried out wire...

    Anyone heard of a RattleBack?

    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). Amazon.com...

    First Build-650nm 300mW

    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...

    Hello LPF!

    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...
