    Default FS: Melles Griot 20x Precision Beam Expander

    I remembered I had a beam expander sat tucked in a box, earlier today when I was round at Robs. It was bought for a project over a year or so ago which never came into fruition; it's been sat packaged up ever since. So the plan is to sell it and put the cash towards a good cause (a nice blue 473nm for my RGB!)

    The model no. is: 09 LBM 015
    And it's a precision 20x expander.
    It is in a new, unused condition. The new price was over £1,100

    Datasheet (Page 2)

    Here are the specs pasted from the catalogue:
    Melles Griot precision laser beam expanders produce peak-to-peak wavefront distortion of less than l/4 in expansion ratios of 3#, 10#, 20#, or 30#. The Galilean design shortens overall length and improves performance by minimizing spherical aberration. A padded hardwood box is included for safe storage.

    • Larger output beams with reduced beam divergence for holo- graphic and other distant illumination applications
    • Available for broadband applications from 450 to 750 nm
    • Optimized for 1-mm-diameter input beams
    • Far-field focusing from 3 m to infinity
    • Directly mounts to 09 LAM-series adjustable alignment adaptors (see page 16.18)


    SPECIFICATIONS:

    PRECISION LASER BEAM EXPANDERS
    • Wavelength Range: 450–750 nm
    • Recommended Maximum Input Beam Diameter (1/e2): 1.0 mm
    • Input Aperture: 2.5-mm diameter
    • Wavefront Distortion: <l/4 (p-p) at 632.8 nm
    • Transmission: >95%
    • Coating: HEBBAR™ /078 (go to Chapter 5, Optical Coatings)
    • Housing Material: Black-anodized aluminum
    • Mounting: 1 inch-32 TPI
    Open to all decent offers via PM...
    Pictures of item attached.
    Will ship worldwide; (Estimated shipping costs in the UK: £5, worldwide £10)

    You student types have waaaaaay too much spare cash if you can have this kind of investment just sitting around and forgotten about.

    Bumpity Bump
    Any offers welcome.

    I don't really want to eBay this, but I'll give it another week or two, then I'll have to stick it on eBay. Then I can buy a few more multipacks of beans ta keep me going

    I would like to have for experiments......prolly cost more than a lot of diodes than I would be testing with it......nice though.

    Last bump!
    Will trade for 642nm diodes or related optics or dichros... (as well as cash offers )

    If not then it's off to eBay

    OK, I've finally stuck it on eBay:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...ht_1985wt_1024

    Despite what it's listed at on eBay, I will accept seriously discounted offers from any PL member.
