    Hey guys, I have a couple of 591nm laser modules that I would like to put into my lumia projector. I like to fade in/out my lumia effects and also control the brightness. These summation lasers don't work well, or at all, at low power levels so fading/attenuating via modulation is out. Since...

    Hi, I'm basically trying to collimate and shape a 808nm beam to pump Nd:YAG, but all quotes for optics I got were outrageous.

    Hi All. I am trying to rebuild some old 100mW green lasers. I am hoping that someone here has seen this type of PCB before. I controls the X and Y scanner motors. I am trying to find out what kind of signal there is on the black yellow and white wires. Those are the control signal in. The...

    In Disney World, specifically Epcot, you'll see water effect projectors on certain rides. On the Nemo ride, their projectors shine on the floor and on elevated transparent screens that give the effect of being under water. I tried to see a manufacturer name or symbol and couldn't see on. Does...

    Thanks Lasermaster1977. I'm reliving some of the same joys that Greg has. Currently not using any laser diodes at the moment. Just using some old HeNe's and a DPSS laser I had laying around. I was just going to use a scanner to test blanking. I'll see if I can put together a circuit that...

    Congrats Kevint! Nice image results, too. Many times it is just the simple things. You couldn't use the 555's output directly as a blanking signal since it is 0-15v. Some some down scaling and buffering would be needed to get down to a 0-5v signal. But, I don't recall what you are using for...

    Belive me, if anything generated visible light at any practical power level in a transverse discharge, prior to the practical blue laser diode, it would have been on the market. Neon generates exceptionally weak visible pulses in a transverse discharge, so do some very exotic excimers....

    I totally agree, I also prefer the retrace line. It adds that natural analog feel to the image which I really enjoy. The main purpose for asking the question is to try to understand where these blanking signals come from and in this case could the 555 time pulse be that source. But all in all,...

    Its difficult to accept when a "greybeard" says no, because, at least in my experience, their information is out of date. I'm not saying that's the case here, but saying no to a question, and then saying "because I've worked with lasers since the 1980's" when they ask why it wont work, does sweet...

    Is this in addition to your YAG project to focus 808 nm into the crystal? Beam expanders are easy, you don't necessarily need an AR coated lens for 808 nm as an output expander, it won't be as efficient, but not that much loss, not needed for a pointer output unless your diode is sensitive to...

    I'm primarily looking for cylindrical lenses to build a telescope to expand the beams from individual laser diodes. For that, I need short concave lens and longer convex lens, for eg. -4mm and +40mm. Additionally, I need (preferably M9) collimators for the diodes, but I found a few options here.

    We, the members at the time, all saw it and you bragged about it in the discourse group. Not only are you incorrigible, you are a liar. How about the threats to show up at another forum members home with a shot gun? That didn't happen either?

    SUCCESS!!! You are not going to believe what the issue was. Lasermaster1977 your advice was priceless. I took each part of the circuit and checked for appropriate output signals following your advice. I saw that the JFETs were triggering properly, I was seeing trigger signals through...

    This seller on ebay might have them, but not listed. He had some fiber to convex 808 nm lenses with AR coating in the past and not expensive, as they go. You could remove the fiber, or leave it on to interface to a FAP. What kind of laser is your 808 nm coming out of? Simple diode, or? What are you...
