Jesus, whats the big deal? Oh no, someone bumped a months old thread, the whole world is gonna fucken end!! Sorry I made you all waste the huge effort it took to click your mouse. I remember why I left this forum years ago. Too many retards.

Fuck both of you. Wankers.

Only just noticed this.... really wish I had the space. It would be a done deal. :mad: Edit: Also just noticed your sig.... seriously? 50 HeNe's and 12 Argons ?!! How do you find these in Australia?

Moral #2.. leave the hoodie at home too. Please. LOL

Damn, going on "first in, first served"... Gonna need to get about 30 of them before I get some :( Don't like my chances. Nah, your OP did say "may or may not be HeNes" so don't stress. However.. the approx. size you posted for the tube.. I can't imagine them being anything else.

It has happened again. Someone pointing lasers at passenger airlines around Sydney. Laser strikes pilot in the eye

When I was a little kid in the 70's or early 80's my dad took me to see a Holography exhibition at the museum. I was blown away. In '88 I started first year high-school (13yo) and found a book on holography in the library.. I started kid-dreaming of making holograms. I got as far as tracking...

Thanks for the reply Andrew. I wasn't thinking of modifying a Q-switched, but starting from scratch. Basicaly, I was looking at using a few of the 20, 40 or 60 watt Coherent diodes for CNC, but due to their crappy beams I thought about using one of the 4 or 5mm Nd:YAG rods that crop up on ebay...

Thanks for the reply Dave. Tho it was the Advance Search that I've had issues with.

Thanks to all for your replies. Jerry, makes sense, thanks. rhd, I agree 100%! anselm, thanks. Yeah have used google plenty(been lurking here for ages) but as rhd says: TJ, aha! Why didn't I think of using a wildcard? duh! lol LPC*815 still doesn't work too great though. Has missed all but...

Hi Andrew, Is it possible to do this without the Q-Switch for CW operation? If so, what sort of efficiency could one expect? Say you use 3x 20W side pump diodes, would it be reasonable to expect say 15W CW @ 1064nm (using a 25% efficiency guesstimate) I would like to do something like this for a...

I'm wondering if an admin can tell me why the search function fails when searching for "LPC-815" I thought it may be the hyphen, but when searching for "PHR-803T" it works fine. :shrug:

Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Have my own cash crisis(Bloody Paypal!) and I'm gonna miss out :( EDIT: How long until you get some more? (at normal pricing)
