"Here's an interesting idea: What if we could upload our conscience onto a computer, grow a younger version of ourselves in a lab, and transfer the conscience back onto the clone of our self? Using this method, one could technically live forever, as long as cloning and transference of conscience...

I wonder what the capacitance on the LD is?

What you have there is ringing as denoted by the dampend sine wave when the signal goes thru transition. These are cause by stray RC, RL, and LC tank circuts. Without a complete schematic and pictures of your setup it is hard to tell exactly where the problem lays. The reason it get worse with...

Thanks qumefox and laserhead. Dont want to assume anything! There must be a power rating as well?

Hope this helps. Wonder if anyone else ordered from this guy? Maybe they come with some documentation. Can I shine the beam through them as a test? 1.2W blue laser diode module kit w/ FlexDrive V5 1.5A - eBay (item 200607776324 end time May-22-11 13:57:49 PDT)

Hello, I just purchased my first LD on e-bay. It is a 445nm diode that can do more than a watt. Included is the flex drive V5, aixiz 12X30 3element AR coated glass lens and a pair of safety glasses, all for 108 dollars. Sounded good to me so I bought because it included the safety glasses...

No shows in mind. What I am trying to work out is adding laser light out side the lasing medium to an existing beam but do it in phase so the power builds up. The q-switch method only gives a finite amount. From what I know about other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, this build up of...

Nothing. I should have left that comment out, it just seemed to confuse people as to what I was asking. I am thinking of constructive phasing of pulsed laser energy utilizing what I call an optical capacitor and a piezoelectric first surface mirror for phasing corrections. I am assuming cheap...

Laser shows ae cool, burning tape and cd cases will get old. I have something else in mind... Multi-kilowatt pulses. I need a laser of the highest quality as far as frequency stability is concerned. Can anyone tell me more about frequency stability and yes I would like it to be a single mode.
