Thanks LJ and Jim for the kind words. Very much appreciated!!
"Marc,
Did you ever determine if it was feasable to fit all of the RGB components in an LT1000? If so could you list your (CT Lasers) Part numbers of the modules that you used?"
-An RGB up to probably approx 3 Watts could EASILY fit inside of an LT1000 projector enclosure. if the picture gallery was up here (what is wrong with that by the way?), you could see how i laid my first RGB out. that was approx 1W. i am a BIG believer in the dual level design. electronics on top, lasers and optics on the bottom. IMO- it is more efficient that way for cooling AND it provides the most easily accessible real estate to mount all of your lasers.
Honestly, almost any of my lasers will be suitable in an LT1000. if you start getting into watt range lasers, you *may* run into an issue of running out of room. but i HIGHLY doubt it.
I just laid out a 1.2W 532 green (wasnt mine), 2X 450mW 635's and 2x 473 lasers on a optical table the size of an LT1000 and it all fit (just wanted to see a layout i was pondering). it was tight, but it all fit.
Jim-
i know you were looking into a 2W green and possibly adding on later. i really think you will be fine adding on to this to make an RGB. OBVIOUSLY if you DO NOT try to balance your Red and Blue purchase with your green laser. THEN you will need a SERIOUS enclosure!! you'd be pushing ~6W of red. ~4.5W Blue!!! that would need an LT100,000 and a second mortgage! LOL...
I have been hesitant to PM him as he has spent hours on the phone with me in the last few weeks and has yet to see dime one from me. I hope to get an order placed soon.
