Hi all
I've been having problems with my 300mW Lasever laser switching modes (TEM00/TEM01). So, I decided to order another green laser so that I would be able to continue to use my projector whilst my green Lasever laser is being repaired under warranty.
I had heard so many good reports about Laserwave lasers and how Bridge was so good to deal with that I thought I would order a 300mW unit from them.
I have to say that all my dealings with Bridge have been excellent, he always answers PM's very quickly and is always anxious to please. I transferred the money and within a few days had the laser in my hands... Fantastic service .
The laser comes all ready wired up and with very good instructions. It's simply a case of setting the mode of operation (either CW, TTL or analogue) by a couple of switches and plugging in the laser to a suitable power supply. The overall build quality of the laser is excellent, everything has a very robust feel to it.
The beam profile is excellent as is the divergence. I measured the power using a Coherent Lasercheck and it's putting out well above the rated specification of 300mW (and I mean WELL above ).
I'm very pleased with the service AND the laser and can highly recommend LASERWAVE.
My Lasever will be sent back for a repair under warranty during the next week or so (once i've stripped it out of my projector). On its return I intend to have a go at building a laserharp using Shobley's plans... That should be fun ;-)
Cheers
Jem
