soooo... who on here could make me an xray build? :D

http://www.physorg.com/news167925273.html/? (PhysOrg.com) -- Oxford scientists have created a transparent form of aluminium by bombarding the metal with the world’s most powerful soft X-ray laser. 'Transparent aluminium' previously only existed in science fiction, featuring in the movie Star...

thanks, especially to daguin and ash! this is just the kind of feedback i was hoping for. repped

i'm trying to get a handle on how each color laser is constructed, and their various strengths and weaknesses, to make a choice on my first diy build. any input would be welcome. this is what i've learned so far: ~405nm: violet color, diodes available in br burners, great burners, fluorescence...

gotcha i had read that was how to make a green, but hadn't come across that info about blues yet. shoot but yeah, i'm a total beginner, just picking it up. thanks for the info! i appreciate it

they don't produce blue diodes? they have to be shifted from another wavelength diode?

what makes blue such a difficult color to build?

i have been learning a lot and am looking to start my first build. i thought blue would be a good starting point - its a great color and should be a pretty easy build (ie no crystals or massive heatsinks required). but i'm having some trouble tracking down blue diodes. anyone know where i could...

noone has posted burning distances yet, that i can find. how far away can the more powerful, focusable ir's burn?

some great deals! i'd be glad to buy #4 from you, the 808nm, 600mW laser. if noone else wants #5 for $15 i could take that off your hands too. i haven't messed with infrared before, this should allow for some fun experiments! how well does infrared burn as compared to shorter wavelengths? pm me...

sorry, i'm a bit confused. you're saying the beam is fatter, dirtier and more powerful? and the additional power outweighs the other effects on the beam, adding up to an overall better burner? in the demos i've seen on here, it looks very focusable and tight, with a little splash but apparently...
