    I shall name it Phoenix -or- It lives! (was: My Argon just went bang... )

    Re: My Argon just went bang... 99% sure the trigger board discharged to ground, likely in the anode heatsink shroud area. You have a 10% chance that it only blew a fuse, and a 90% chance the FET's blew up. If it was a capacitor that blew you would smell it with a huge cloud of very sickly sweet...

    Harvesting / Teardown of the Pico1 Projector - 450nm, 640nm, + non-DPSS Green

    The cool thing is that PPLN is VERY easily temperature tunable to match wavelengths as long (HEAT) as about 1500nm and as short (COOL) as about 840nm giving you a range of deep carmine red to periwinkle blue. BUT... sadly DBR diodes are rock solid in wavelength. Getting access to the PPLN...

    Where to buy a >2 watt laser diode on the cheap?

    The good news is that the MPE distance for a 1W 808 diode off a matte surface for momentary exposure 1/4 second is about a foot. Thing is the "dim" dot is cooking your eyeballs about the same as looking at the sun for the same period of time at that distance. so even if it doesn't feel like it...

    Harvesting / Teardown of the Pico1 Projector - 450nm, 640nm, + non-DPSS Green

    I'd be interested in seeing that green working. My gut feeling is it is a deep well VECDL coupled with a PPLN or PPKTP that has been quasi -critically phase matched. My guess is that the connections are for a small heater element for the PPKTP/PPLN, thermistor for temp regulation, and to the...

    DLP projectors laser diodes extracted red and green?

    A LED will never focus smaller than the original emitter element, all 24 lasers 24W+ focus to about 1.5mm on the phosphor disc, the LED emitter chip for say a 5W output blue is about 2mm. What you could possibly do is combine say 6 laser diodes with a blue LED with a collimator and you'll...

    Melles Griot Co2 Laser

    The pins in the back are a safety interlock loop and a thermal switch sensor, they are unimportant for the laser to run if you make sure you have water cooling the tube. If you intend to run the laser untended for a while, by all means use them.

    Melles Griot Co2 Laser

    Make sure it has water cooling the tube or the tube will overheat and die. Apply 27.1mhz with a CB linear amp at 150 to 250W. Watch it burn stuff. The OC is fine, it was protected by a window for the burning demos.

    HGM-5 help!

    You need to set the potentiometers on the PSU to control them. It is not too exciting. A pet dragon told me this: On the ribbon connector going to the PS on the end it hooks into the CONTROLLER BOARD take the pins 15 and 17 and jumper them then run pins 9 and 19 to the thermal safety cutout on...

    Total liquidation sale of HESC Photonics assets

    Case in point, bought it for $ 10, sold on ebay for $600. 5w gold clad laser diodes,military high power lot of 30 | eBay Too bad a lot of you people who enjoyed bashing chose not to bid.

    Total liquidation sale of HESC Photonics assets

    Actually I see the buyers making a nice profit off their purchases. What is the point of "defending yourself" when all you get is flamed? I had you tube videos showing some of the more expensive items working and still people were scared to bid realistically. In the end several people got a few...

    Total liquidation sale of HESC Photonics assets

    It's not a large number of people that are complaining, just a few very vocal ones and people who love to bash. Most of the people complaining were rival ebay sellers who got sick of me selling things for more than they were.

    It burned a hole in a tin can. I am surprised it didn't sell at the auction.

    You can see some of the things in operation on youtube. YouTube - heruursciences's Channel To the people of LPF, maybe you can get together with somebody and do a group buy, that is if the person doing the buy is relaible. FWIW, the shipping and handling is going to be reasonable especially...
