pre-orders/interest for high quality module kits

I'll be in for this. I'll take between 2 and 4 depending on price.

Cheers

That's great there's a lot of interest.

CDBEAM, I have looked at anamorphic prisms, however they don't correct for the astigmatism in the diodes so you still don't get good imaging of the slow axis (poor divergence).

I expect they will be around $190 each. Definitely not more than $240.
That includes The base plate, 3 mounts, collimator lens, 2 broadband AR cylindrical lenses for correction, TEC, FlexDrive P3, diode mount, black anodizing, lasorb, and we're looking for a cover. They are hardware mostly, driver optional, you supply whatever diode you wish as the builder.

hmm... 4x2mm per diode (after optics).
So technically, you could sum up 2 diodes (H+V)polarized.
then, knife edge another pair.
In theory , you would end up with a 4x4 mm beam, (Quad Setup), @ around 3 - 4 watts !

are you also going to be doing quad kits ? or just single setups only ?

Hey Andrew,

how does your project relate to what is going on in this thread?

Exactly! Except you would knife edge two pairs and then sum them with PBS

Hmm, I'm not sure, this project started a while ago before that.. but it certainly looks like you could get diodes and a HeroiChill controller there. Or if you want an anamorphic setup for beams with poorer divergence that would be the place to go. So, it might work out perfectly. The FlexMod P3 will have its own start up delay.

Wow, now that's a great price! (Staples commercial). Do you have any idea as far as ETA?

lOoking at the guestated price and seeing as I'm
looking for 2 x 2 watts I would be very happy to pay this price. Still could you do a quad kit aswell sold seperatly or a duel kit then I could buy the 4 diodes and the kit and build it all myself? :)

Dr.L,

Great price...$190~$240....WOW....I want one !!!!!!!!!For sure at that level !!!!! THANK YOU.

CDBEAM and Terrawatt

I have a novel idea...what if everyone starts making lasers, duals, & quads then none of us will have any customers :)

WTF happened to the blue light special to help PL???

some of us like building our own stuff, life would be boring if we all brought ready made stuff :)
