ok got my 400mw 532nm from lasever today once warm its kicking out 530mw which is good.
so ive got -
500mw of 532nm
600mw 650nm
100mw 473nm
also spoke to bill today about my dt40's, this is his reponse -
We have an intern at Pangolin for the next six months. Actually, before even coming to Pangolin, he posted on PL. His name is Uncle Worm or something like that. Since one of the things he is studying is servos, I wanted to wait for our joint availability, and show him what we do on a DSA, etc.
So that happened yesterday. Your system had multiple problems. You did have it tuned -- probably the way Jian would have done it. Unfortunately, this is with way too much high frequency damping, and way too much servo gain. But at least it did something, and in fact Worm thought it didn't look too bad. But what I saw was that it looked worst and worst over time. Upon close examination, I found the Y mirror wasn't even bonded properly. Someone used super glue to attach it, but it had come loose. Also, once I attached it correctly, and then moved it under a microscope, I can see the whole shaft moving. This is caused by a combination of cheep bearings, and what's known as an improper pre-loading technique. Nevertheless, I was able to do one of my old tricks -- put epoxy on the back side of the mirror. This artificially makes the mirror thicker, and also kills resonances. And lastly, I threw away the connection style you had up until now (single ended, with a pot) and made a DB25 connector and fashioned true differential connection into the amp. This really does a lot for quality. When you receive the system, you will need to hook the only "free" wire (DB25 pin 25) to the ground of the power supply, or the images will wobble all over the place. This ground connection can be made with an additional wire inside your projector, that's why I didn't do it myself (I used a clip-lead for testing).
So, to get this looking good, it actually illustrated a lot of things I have been talking about all along. One thing it illustrated is -- you must use differential input TO THE AMPS (remember, differential has nothing to do with the transmitter, and everything to do with the receiver). The mirrors must be thick, or can be artificially thickened with epoxy or even silicone. Mechanical problems will definitely manifest themselves in the images (I took pictures of all of this, and will post them too), etc. Basically, it was good for Worm, since he saw all of the things I have been talking about in action.
In the end, the system looks OK. Not perfect, but OK...
in my next e-mail i asked what not perfect means?
what he was getting at is, they are running great just not up to his standards, which im guessing are pretty dam high.
hes gona post some pics at some point.
