Seems like if it was something inexpensive enough, efficient enough and easy enough for someone on one of our budgets to do, I am sure it would have been done before ;) by someone like arctos for example... But it certainly seems as though you are ambitious enough to go through with it, so post...

Xanatos, you beat me to it.... But you also cant overlap two similarly polarized beams, otherwise you will lose output that way too... :-/

You're right... unless you focused the beams down to a spot at the PBS, then you could fit a few more, and then you would have to play with some more lenses to get it back to a low diverging beam... just a thought. But you are right, once you use a PBS to combine two beams you can not use...

wlaser, ahh sorry I misinterpreted what you wrote :) and yeah sorry I over estimated the oo's only by two... :-[ If you break apart the PS3 modules you will see two PBS cubes, and if you power up the red or violet in the diode you will see that the beams take separate paths to different optical...

4x blue rays are only about 45-50 they can be pushed a bit higher, but not for a long time... I cant remember the figure I heard but I want to say that someone got like 75mw out of a 4x burner... I've heard about a few people who got 50-some mw from a PS3 diode, because earlier in production...

Oh also, wooooooooolaser (not sure if I put enough oooo's in there) you were almost completely correct. The one thing you said that wouldn't be entirely right is that you stack the beams... First I'll tell you why that could be true. If you were using a PBS cube to combine more than 2 beams...

The Mirror like thing is a Beam Splitter, if you're facts are right it would be a 60/40 splitter :D The cube is a polarized beam splitter cube, if it was harvested from a dvd burner it would be made to handle lasers in the 650nm range, and likely in the IR range too (it depends on the drive)...

Re: PBS Cubes (650 and 473) + AR Dichros + Mounts Timelord, I think your UFO needs some lasers on it... 8-)

Just in regards to wikipedia relying upon the info that people provide - here is an awesome article that proves just that. It is about how Steven Colbert gets banned from wikipedia because of stuff that he did... it's pretty funny...

with or without IR? ;)

Re: PBS Cubes (650 and 473) + AR Dichros + Mounts Yeah I also have a set that I got when I got my 800mw. I haven't had the chance to test them really, nor do I really have any high tech equipment to do testing on them. Wish I did though...

Re: PBS Cubes (650 and 473) + AR Dichros + Mounts Hello Bridge, Thanks for clarifying the specs :) -Max

Re: PBS Cubes (650 and 473) + AR Dichros + Mounts Well in theory, yes you can get away without them... You would just have to build your own mounts, which many people do. These mounts will just be (in general) a LOT easier to use. And to make your own to these specs would be pretty expensive...

Re: PBS Cubes (650 and 473) + AR Dichros + Mounts Ok so here are some of the specs for the dichros. Sorry I'm having trouble trying to get the table to work... forgive me... UPDATE: I'm stupid right now and cant figure out the table and I am hungry and leaving to Buffalo Wild Wings... so I...

Re: PBS Cubes (650 and 473) + AR Dichros + Mounts Xanatos, Thanks for the good words about the GB. I sent you a PM. -Max

Re: PBS Cubes (650 and 473) + AR Dichros + Mounts I posted these images so you can get a better idea of what the dichros do exactly. If I did have a blue laser you would see TOP written in that test image. Also the border would be white. If you look closely in the last image you can see there...

Re: PBS Cubes (650 and 473) + AR Dichros + Mounts Here it is screwed down and in place... this set up may RIP I am currently transitioning to the 800mw Laser-Wave module.

Re: PBS Cubes (650 and 473) + AR Dichros + Mounts Here are the combined laser beams in a test pattern (no blue in this projector... yet....)

Re: PBS Cubes (650 and 473) + AR Dichros + Mounts Here is my edmunds mount and Dichro from my laser projector. This is when it was set up temporarily

Re: PBS Cubes (650 and 473) + AR Dichros + Mounts Thanks! Coming from you the God of Group Buys that means something haha. Everyone here can just call me Max. And yes Bridge is doing it all now. He has dove into the industry, and is really busy, but he constantly strives to provide quality...
