Need advice on 473nm module

[ElektroFreak]

As far as getting pricing for CNI/Laser-wave/Viasho, you can find pricing on and buy CNI heads from oemlasersystems.com (competitive pricing, marketed toward the scientific professional), lasershowparts.com (marketed toward laser show people), or direct from CNI at www.cnilaser.com.

Viasho is sold primarily directly from www.viasho.com or by contacting Frank here on the forum..

Laser-wave can be bought from ctlasers.com, laser-wave.co.uk, or lasershowparts.com. You can also buy directly from Laser-wave by contacting them through their site or contacting Bridge here on the forum.

I'm pretty sure Phritzler ( A member here ) is a Viasho distributor ... but I could be wrong. He is based in Austria.

I'm not quite sure that statement is quite as true now as it used to be. I bought a 200mW Lasever probably about three years ago and it was replaced twice under warranty.

However, I got one of their 'improved' models and that is still going strong after ~2 years. SO, I guess they must have done something to improve the longevity. However, I have to say that on balance I probably wouldn't buy another Lasever.

I think your best bet would be to opt for a Laserwave product as their distributors are very reliable, knowledgeble and helpful people. If something goes wrong you'll have excellent back up service. Also, Bridge (the manufacturer) is active on this forum and can usually sort problems out quickly.

P.S. I see you're in Sweden. Could I suggest that you perhaps drop Rob (Stanwax) a PM, he's the Laserwave distributor in the UK.

i did also buy what i thought was an improved 100mw 473nm model ,when it tured up it was a cni
50mw tweaked up with a flipped xtal no ir filter doing 140mw and with a lot of noise in the beam
what one did you end up with jem ie model ??

^I'm curious how that was proven, and what's a "flipped crystal"? Also, all CNI (and likely most other 473nm manus) 473nm systems have noisy beams. It's a side effect of the doubling process..

I never like to hear about people selling cranked up lasers as being higher-powered than they really are.

its somthing i was told recently but i cant find it at the moment might not be the xtal but for sure flipping somthing,and shg was mentioned apparently it gives a little power boost but mucks up the beam
thats as much as i can remember about it
if i find the message i will let you know

Hmmm... Sorry, can't remember the model number right now, and I don't fancy delving into my projector just at the moment. Next time I have it in bits i'll take a look.

Cheers
