So, this being the first real laser that I bought, I figured I would do a brief review of the product. I was looking for a moderately powered green laser on evilBay and came across Rayfoss' products. I was hesitant at first due to the fact it was coming from who knows where in China, but the...

So, I finally got my first laser going...an LPC-815 (Aixiz glass) with a rkcstr driver on max. That should be giving me right around 300mw. When I get some extra cash, I'm going to get the Meredith glass mod. I'm putting it in a Star Trek TNG phaser, so that's the next purchase. Next, I...

Lesson learned, don't try to hook up multiple 5mw diodes with their own drivers off of a single power supply. I saw a puff of smoke from the board and burned out a nice little green number the other day :cryyy:. So, I am trying to build a constant regulated voltage of 3.2 volts out using an...

My first laser building attempt does not appear to be working all too well. I'll provide the details, so far, and can someone help me with some troubleshooting? The problem I'm experiencing is that I'm not getting much output. Here's my setup... - rkcstr driver configured for full range and...

I know most people on here are not fans of Ebay, but this a US-based seller with an excellent reputation. If I can get this for the right price, what do y'all think? GLMC-100 DPSS 532nm Green Laser Lab Diode Module : NEW! - eBay (item 260485197489 end time Oct-08-09 21:00:22 PDT)

First of all, damn you all for getting me into this addictive hobby...like I don't have enough things to spend my money on already! Second, I have a question. I'm thinking about building very basic and limited laser show for my band...nothing that actually syncs to the music...just a couple of...

I've been doing so much reading on here the last couple of days, it's got the geek in me working overtime! That said, I've decided I'm going to build my first high-power laser. Naturally, I don't do anything half-assed, so I've decided it's going to be a Star Trek TNG phaser with adjustable...

The goal of this experimental idea is to identify the wavelengths of paranormal anomalies (ghosts). The idea is take various wavelength lasers from 355nm (UV) to 808nm (IR) and place them in an array that will project onto a flat surface. These will then be monitored via video for refraction...

I bought this diode off of Ebay...http://cgi.ebay.com/INDUSTRIAL-LASER-MODULE-GRID-SQUARE-BEAM-5mW-3V-635nm_W0QQitemZ140106020267QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item209ef835ab&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116...for the grid pattern (specialized use). Do I need to even build a driver for it...

So, I've done some reading on here and I still have a couple of questions as I attempt my first build. It seems as though most of you are looking to build stuff far more powerful than my requirements! The application: A 635nm laser @ 5mW with a grid diffusor that can be projected down a hall...

Hello all, I just stumbled onto this forum and it seems like its full of all kinds of laser information (and geeks like myself). My name is Eric Martin. I am one of the founding members of The Eastern Paranormal Research Society. That said, you're probably wondering why I am here. I am...
