405nm+532nm Scanning (pics and video)

so the other night i finally got around to adding some 405nm to my scanner :)

i used the new reflect blue (473) 25mm laser wave dichro and mount for mixing

here are the results-

ignore the stray green beam on the bottom right corner

So this is 405nm + 532nm? Do the pics represent what it looks like in real life?
Interesting!

yes the pictures are pretty accurate. the all blue seems to be a little more purple in person but mixed it looks like that teal

How many mW of each going on in there?

I am totally stoked now! :D

That looks awesome!

not sure on either

the 405nm is set at 150ma and the green is a 500mw laser wave green turned down quite a bit :)

Nice!!

Would you be up for listing the components (including various optics) and the sources you used for the 405nm? (Or link to a thread if you discussed elsewhere)

That might be an "almost affordable" way to pump up the blue in my RGB.

Good work!!

sure thing boss!

diode- PHR-803t
module with lense-aixiz
driver-flex mod1
dichro-laserwave reflect blue
heat sink- there are a few different options kinda your choice

Cool!
Were you able to find just the diode, or did you disassemble a DVD sled?

Thanks, Josh!

cheapest way to do it is just find the sleds... anywhere from $18-33 dollars

some people will also extract the diode for you for a couple extra dollars and even press them in a aixiz module for another 4-5 dollars

the extracting of the diode is VERY EASY and pressing the diode in a module is also simple as long as you have a vise

Thats very interesting :)

Maybe with a couple of 405nm modules and a PBS cube, a good power can be reach to make it more visible.

Did you coat the mirrors to reduce mirror losses?

I did the exact same thing yesterday and used the laser at a club!
I didn't get good beamshots because my camera sucks but I'll see if some of my friends got any better shots.
I would have needed about triple the power to really match the green.

This is what it looked like on the scanner, its a dealextreme 35 doing 70mW and a bluray doing about 100 mW (130mA)

nope no need i didnt lose any through the mirror. a little over the side but thats it.

my green actually goes through my mirrors when turned up

re

this looks like just the thing im after to increase the power of my blue in my f2000. i wanna have 2 rgb projector that are worth using and at the moment my f2000 is a bit dim especially the blue. this would add a bit of extra blue for me. i may evan add some more red and make it a really powerful projector.

thanks for the pictures by the way really impressed with them.
thanks alot oli

thanks oli!

let us know how it goes when adding it into your projector!

re

by the way mate have you got any advice for me of where to get this diode from prebuild into a heat sink. exactly what you have. in fact if it would be possible if i could ourchase one off you that would be excellent. if not just some advice would be great. thanyou very much

i could put a diode in a module and then put it in a heat sink for you if you would like.

all you would need to do after that is add a driver and power.

pm me if you wanna talk more :)
