Just watched that vid. That is amazing how much these can shift by cryogenic cooling them. I sure didn't expect it to go past orange and start going towards yellow at all.

Alright. I will keep an eye on my inbox.

Re: FS: CNI 30mW 473nm Lab Unit *price drop* Wanted one of these for a while now and it is for sure within the budget. Feel free to PM me with any further info on it. EDIT: If i reply slow, sorry. I work 4pm to 1am central time.

That choice is completely personal preference. At least with my M140 build which uses the 3 element lens, the beam in the night sky doesn't look that bad but definitely isn't anywhere close to round. At the aperture, the beam starts out about 2 and a half times as wide as it is thick and then at...

^^^^ true, flux most certainly helps, and for a first build as Livinloud mentioned, a c6 is definitely a good choice. +rep Livinloud if i can for mentioning flux, i'm tired and in trying to cover most of the basics forgot the all important flux...

Unfortunately the M140 diode you have linked isn't single mode, the only single mode ~445nm blue diode i know of is the PL450B here: LINK As for a host and heat-sink just find something you like that is easy to assemble for a first build. The driver you will need for it will vary depending on...

Re: Copper Pen Host - The Cypreus Series 2x10440 and 1x10440 [Pics and Info] My completely honest, mostly unbiased opinion of these is WOW. They look great!! I have to say mostly unbiased because of that nice red beamshot.... plus the copper!!!

Re: FS: ultimatekaiser's random stuff clearout Interested in one of the Anser's, PM with offer incoming.

+1 for the awesome pics.

DDI stands for "Direct Diode Injected"

I recently built my first laser a PHR-803T Blu-Ray and I did not have any problems soldering the diode with LEADED solder and a 30W soldering iron so I would say it would be easier to solder it. Mine when soldered while in an aixiz module barely got warm to the touch. Soldering should not be a...

I can only get mine to work on 3 volts and with the pot adjusted all the way it puts out less than 5 mw of blu-ray. Anyone Know why it will not work with any other voltages and why it is barely working with two fresh AA batteries. Any help is greatly appreciated...

How do you build the driver and what parts are needed?

Would it be possible to get one of thePHR-803T <100mw with this Driver for the same price? 405nm blu-ray diode driver£­>405nm blue-violet laser£­>Laser&lighting products£­>www.0-like.com
