hi all
just done some comparison tests
with kvant vs laserwave dichos.
the tests were just on the mostly used red and blue dichros
the laserwave dichros well you all know what format they come in,
the kvant dichros that pelosh sent me to try are 25mm x 12mm and 2mm thick
as you will see from the tests that each have their pros and cons
like laserwave are better at passing where as kvant are slightly better at reflection
this was done for just a bit of fun ,
let the results do the talking
if the layout looks odd it was cut and pasted from a doc file and does not paste to forum well
1)
Kvant red dichro tested @ 642nm.
Reflect 642
power in 765mw
= 5mw loss ,reflect = 99.34 %
Power out 760mw
--------------------------------------------------------------
Kvant red dichro pass green
Power in 844mw
= 20mw loss = pass = 96.31 %
Power out 818
--------------------------------------------------------------
Kvant red dichro pass blue
Power in 1768mw
= 110mw loss = pass = 88.12 %
Power out 1558mw
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kvant blue dichro test. (note kvant blue dichro does not pass red @ 642nm)
Reflect 445nm blue
Power in 1782mw
= 77mw loss = reflect = 95.67 %
Power out 1705mw
Kvant blue dichro pass green
Power in 876mw
= 40mw loss = pass = 95.31 %
Power out 835mw
Laser wave red dichro test @ 642nm (note laserwave red dichro does not pass blue @’445nm)
Reflect 642nm
Power in 764mw
= 16mw loss = reflect = 97.90 %
Power out 748mn
Laserwave pass green
Power in 910mw
= 28mw loss = pass = 96.92 %
Power out 882mw
Laserwave blue dichro test ( note laserwave blue passes red ok )
Reflect blue @445nm
Power in 1810mw
= 98mw loss = reflect = 94.58 %
Power out 1712mw
Laserwave blue dichro pass green
Power in 876mw
= loss 32mw = pass = 96.34 %
