Hey folks, ive been reading through this amazing forum off and on for just a bit. I am simply taken back by the talent of the members and the assortment of knowledge!
I am new to the laser world and have spent many hours reading from various sites. I have now come to the point where I want to try my hand at some more involved setups. By this I mean combining beams. I have assembled many diodes and have tried combining beams. But recently found a picture of an elaborate setup with 24 or more diodes into a single beam.
Now I understand that this is most likely childs play around here, but we all start somewhere, so here I am
What I want to do is something like in the picture I found, but with bluray diodes. What I need is an idea of inexpensive optics that could be used, and some sort of explenation of how this works and the type of optics involved.
Many thanks!
Laslo
