I just ordered a MGL-III-532-300 300mW 532nm dual TEC lab module with 30k analog modulation from CNI. I can't wait! My projector build is slowly coming along, when I find the time to spare. Both crystals and pump diode have their own TEC. http://www.cnilaser.com/PDF/MGL-III-532.pdf I went with...

I mate of mine has caught the coherent bug since I gave him a 100mW 532 DPSS module and a 650 module to play with. He wanted to try a 445nm 1W diode too so I build him a little programmable power lab module. Just finished it tonight. I used the old LM317 driver with DIP switch programmable...

Hi guys, I am chasing 2 x LOC diodes, preferably removed from sleds, but I'll take what I can get. I prefer Australian supply purely as it will be faster. Cheers.

I picked up 2 of these on EvilBay today for $39 each. I hope to squeeze something in to them shortly... Any ideas? Should I try a home grown DPSS? Laser Housing DPSS 445nm high quality fixture - eBay (item 230536372178 end time Nov-03-10 02:24:54 PDT) High quality aluminum construction housing...

Hi Guys, Looking to buy 2 (or more) LCC 650nm diode (from GGWH20L sled). I already have 1, looking to experiment with Knife Edging and PBS cube combining. I did have 2 x LOC but managed to kill both before they even got used, delicate little bugger... If I am correct, the LCC provide a...

Not sure if everyone is aware of this sale at PL so I post it here. SELLING Loads Of He Ne Lasers If you read down the thread, offers on single units now taken.

I am looking for an optical bench plate and found these. Does anyone have any comments on these? are they good value? Anchor Optics - English Bench Plates Cheers, Wayne.

I found this good intro video to lasers that answers many of the basics for beginners. Maybe this could be added to a sticky? The Art And Science Of Laser F/X - Video

As I am yet to complete my RGB projector build, my 445nm labby sits on my bench waiting to produce glorious coherent beams of joy. Burning things is boring. As are simple motor/mirror spyros. Here is the challenge. Post your ideas and evidences of other cool experiments using 445nm LD's that...

Does anyone have any advise re bringing lasers back from China in your luggage? I am off to China tomorrow for 2 weeks business and factory tours, I am hoping to pick up some laser parts if I find anything.

I have built a little test platform for my projector build, using a 1W 445 fitted to a brass mount from Dave at PL, with a Glass AR lens. I was running this diode at 1250mA at max modulation, although now I have decided to limit that to 1000mA. The beam in the image is defocused simply because...

Is it possible to remove an LD from an Axiz module? if so, what is the safest way with out damaging the LD. Cheers.

Seeing as discussions regarding Jacobs Ladders keep popping up, I thought they deserved a dedicated thread. Post your Jacobs Ladder stuff here.

I thought I would share this, some here might find this interest and give you something useful to do with your laser pointer. LucidScience - Build the LASER SPY DEVICE - Page 1 of 18 When I find the time, I am going to experiment with this.

There is a GB offer for AUDIOLASE correction amp kits, in kit form or assembled over at PL and we need two more commitments to get the ball rolling. If your interested, checkout this thread: USB SoundCard DAC Amp Correction Kits - By AUDIOLASE - Group Buy Edition.. Cheers.

I found this project today, very very interesting... Has anyone tried this type of laser? Homemade T.E.A. Lasers. YouTube - Simple Homemade Tea Laser

Ok, having sorted my 532 labbie, I have moved towards getting 445 and 650 modules together for my projector build. I picked up a 6x Blue Ray, 1W 445 and 2 x 650's in Axiz modules from Kendal. Today I mounted the 445 in a big block of ali (universal abbreviation) and built an LM317 current...

A mate and I did a test run of a new jet engine today. This jet produces 10kg of thrust and runs on Kero. It includes an electric start with propane for pre-heating. It is fully micro-controlled (ECU) with PC diagnostics and digital R/C. We measured the SPL @1M approx 114dB SPL (read loud)...

I just thought it was time someone pointed out some basic English for you guys... "Solder" has an "l" in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thanks:
