A nonlinear cavity dumping process is applied for the first time to generate kW peak power pulses at 491 nm. The system is based on efficient sum-frequency mixing of 1063 nm and 912 nm radiations in a BiBO nonlinear crystal placed inside...
honestly i can say this is no way near the best driver out there. i killed a handfull tryn to get a second one made so i guess i was lucky with the first one. if your looking to build a handheld look for a different driver.
just follow the directions posted in my guide.. http://laserpointerforums.com/f51/o-like-driver-open-can-guide-41054.html
but i have eventually went with a diffrent driver to make things easier for future use.
good luck. i think the lack of a soft start on this driver causes majority of diode...
nice what software are u using to do the raster scanning with?
just a bit of advice.. i found 405nm psb cubes in the uk, and i use a flexmod2 driver. i set the current at 250ma and used a radioshack pot 1k for each diode, using a dummyload i set the pot at 75 ma for each diode ran in parallel...
any idea if your files are optimized?
i am new to scanners and found that laser illusions burned up my nice catweezle driver's power supply.
i switched to some cheap 30ks and they still make noise with laser illusions also. I was told that the files probably were not optimized so i am scared...
This driver could be easily modified by running a switch from the low resister to another resistor in the same piggyback fashion as i did for tests.. this would allow a temporary lasing threshold for laser mirror alignment.
Once alignment is complete return the switch for normal operation. Use...
I purpose a modification to the below driver so that the low ttl can be set as normal but by adding a switched line that contains a resistor the diode can be brought above the threshold point making mirror alignment easier. i suggest this be done with a fixed value resistor in a piggyback...
