I have removed the FWHM value & chart. I shall do so on all future reviews that I post on this BBS. I have a CFL fluoro running nearby as we speak...let me go perform spectroscopy of it (including capturing a raw spectrometer data file) and see what comes out in the wash.

To that end, I have removed the FWHM value & chart. I shall do so on all future reviews that I post on this BBS.

I just performed spectroscopy in a futile attempt to try & detect the presence of a pump laser operating at NIR wavelengths...none was found.

Best I can do here is run it through my spectrometer again to look for a secondary, near-IR line from a pump diode. Being my first and only directly-injected green laser, I'm unwilling to sacrifice it in the name of science. :-/

Artifacts are usually (but not ALWAYS) caused by contamination on the laser diode's output window or on either side of the collimating lens. At times, some artifacts are also caused by the beam hitting (and subsequently reflecting off) the walls of the metal casing that the (still cone-shaped)...

I used the spectrometer's data file itself to arrive at that value (and that many decimal places!); nothing was "fudged" or guessed at. :-/

My spectrometer's upper limit (longest resolveable wavelength) is 874nm. I extract the wavelength by using the data file itself (which extends to two decimal places); the trailing zero is added by me because I've always added leading and trailing zeroes to numeric data. Therefore, the trailing...

Spectro link has been repaired...oops!!! :o

I know that the Smartport is included; I don't know if any other accessories are included as "standard equipment".

Actually, quite well! My LPM tops out at 2,500mW; the graph that was furnished indicates that my Arctic tops out at 2,581mW.

Remember though that the Wicked Laers Sonar cost almost $2,000.00 when it first came out in mid-2007; now you can get lasers of the same wavelength with 50X (or more of) the output power for 99¢! :lasergun:

I got one of these things a couple of days ago as well -- and wasted no time posting a review of here on LPF and on my own website. :)

Thank you for your compliments re: my review -- most appreciated!!! :D Re: the blue light hazard...I believe that the effects are cumulative; however I'm not an ophthalmologist (eye doctor) and I don't play one on TV or on the internet, so you'll want to take my recommendations with plenty of...

+1 rep!!! :wave: I'd just love to have (or borrow) a 520nm, 515nm, or {preferably} a 510nm directly-injected (not DPSS!!!) green laser!!! :bowdown:

BTTT: Added several beam (not beam terminus) photos & performed another power output analysis using freshly charged batteries.

husoos cristo en una muleta!!!

Awww, my poor baby is in an offsite storage unit, and I cannot readily access it to set those beautiful 488nm photons free. :( According to Sam Goldwasser, tube current should be set to 8 amps once it ignites (this is for a Spectra-Physics 161B-060 air cooled argon laser head) and then allowed...
