New to lasers

[LaNeK779]

Start by spending a few weeks trawling through this forum, there is NO better place to find all the info you'll need.

Look for threads titled 'new build' etc, take your time and read about other peoples mistakes and the pros and cons for various setups and configurations; you'll soon start to build a mental picture of what's required and what you want.

Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions.

I definately double all that!!!


to my opinion you'd better not go cheap and not go complex all at once, while building your projector. better take your time building it and put better stuff into it. it will come easier to you and you learnmore during the process

start blue, go analogue, learn about correction optics, and you have a decent beam. Then add galvos, DAC, software and play around with it. Then you can add a dichro and a green, then you can see what you can do with colours and your software, then add another dichro and the red and there you have it

not so simple of course, lots of learning and fun / frustration / fun cycles along the way

wellcome!

You couldn't have come to a better place! Try to attend some LEM in your area-you will enjoy them!
