Very sexy (though I'm guessing my missus wouldn't agree)!
When the 12x 405s are available that's potentially a 2W beastie.

Thank you for your questions and they are good onesOriginally Posted by mccarrot
Very interesting!!!Nice build!!!
Before I spend allot of money I do have some questions,
1. How are the diodes isolated? because if they are poor isolated and you try to turn the diode you will kill it when it make connection.
2. What is the MEASUERED reflectance of red on thoses mirrors (there are allot crap mirrors available and loosing more than 10% of power is very common)
3. what is the measured reflectance and pass trough of the PBS (if its a laserwave then I know enough)
4. Is it available without the mirror mounts, and PBS
5. how much margin do you have when fixing the AIXIS diode mounts. If I remember well the Aixis got a 20mm diameter, my high quality lenses are 19mm diameter (0,6mRad 1,2x2,2mm beam) and I would like to use my own diode mounts.
thank you.
1- I use the appropriate size gap filling Silicon - Pad thermal / isolating insulator. Rotation is a tad more difficult, but isolation and thermal transfer are mil spec industry standards
2- I am not impressed with the mirrors too much... "functional" describes them better than "optimal". It is a starting point so one can get to work. Should you choose to implement better optics for better performance, I would recommend that. Chart is attached.
3- PBS cubes are the standard ones offered by CT Lasers. Technical data of their performance may be obtained from them.
4- I will be selling the holders on www.microlaserlabs.com however they are not listed there yet. The baseplate is a problem because it was precision machined to accommodate these components using these optics.
5- The holes in the module clamps are .5" diameter without gap filling sil-pad material. They can be placed in a vice and re drilled up to about .575 without interference with the clamping screws.
And because you asked such excellent questions I am SLASHING the price of the completed module as described in original post to $320.00!
Please NO MORE GOOD QUESTIONS!

Wow! Pat, nice work, that looks awesome!
When's the 8 diode model going to be ready?Please NO MORE GOOD QUESTIONS!

Whoops, forgot to add the reflectance chart for the Enhanced Aluminum Mirrors.

my new product the OCTOMOM will be coming down the pike soon.Wow! Pat, nice work, that looks awesome!

for those of you not in the us...google OCTOMOM...she has fantastic lips!

Very sexy! And those small mounts are even more adapted than the one I built for my quad.
It could be a great start for a "not so expensive" 600mW 642nm

you hit it right...its a great start...you have built one so you have first hand experience how difficult it is to make the parts to this level. If you have all the time in the world and all the necessary equipment at your disposal, you could build one cheaper. Or you could open a package from me and put light out that afternoon.Very sexy!

do you have any shots of these populated with running diodes? i'm impatient!

suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

Im just about ready to place an order but would love to see this product in action too before i buy
If at first you don't succeed..... Cheat!!!

i ordered one this morning... just being impatient.
