1 - One ea. 5" x 7.5" x .25" Black Anodized Base / Mounting Plate
2 - Four ea. Dual Aixiz Mounting Module's featuring SLIDE, ROTATE & INSULATE Technology
3 - Eight ea. Ultra Small Adjustable Mirror Mounts by Chad
4 - Nine ea. CUSTOM CUT NEW Enhanced Aluminum Front Surface Mirrors (not shown)
5 - One ea. 15mm PBS Cube (specify 405 or 660 lasers to be used)
6 - Two FLEXDRIVE Driver Circuit by DrLava

8- All necessary hardware to mount all the parts will be included
9- NO Aixiz Modules, Laser Diodes or Lasorb's will be supplied with this kit

I have made a order of parts to build ONE assembly. I was not shooting for a galactic record for the smallest EIGHT DIODE BEAM COMBINER, I was shooting to introduce the FIRST COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE 8 DIODE BEAM COMBINER. My goal was to supply all the necessary mechanics needed to hold aixiz modules securely, rotate each module independently, electrically isolate each aixiz module from each other, slide the module pairs with ease and to provide FULL TWEAKABILITY...I think I accomplished these goals with this kit.

Any brave souls out there willing to try this little kit? You could probably derive the price if you are interested.

Please feel free to ask questions or comment about this technology in this thread.

ANY OFFERS?

Thanks for looking!

Looking good kind sir! I am excited to see the buyer's first 2W of 405 beam shots!

hrm, i must be in power-save today, i can't for the life of me figure out those beam paths.

[ElektroFreak]

now that you mention it, neither can I..

I can see how the four diodes nearest the aperture end would work, but not the back four. There's got to be a way though.. maybe we're just not seeing it.

[300EVIL]

Wow! Very nice Pat! I must admit I'm a little confused on how it works too.

Maybe...

The mounts are not in the correct alignment for output. That is a perfect picture of the mounts. Angles can be adjusted... I don't volunteer for testing, I nominate 300evil...

i was figuring that you'd have to move the mounts, but is it just four and four, straight down into the PBS (well, bounced off that final mirror and into the PBS). plus, beams are purty.

sort of adam, carefully look the holders closest to the flexmods are raised by .125" higher than the holders next to the PBS cube. The mirrors (which are custom cut to length ready to install) are flush to the top of the red mounts (closest to the pbs cube) and the mirrors are raised .125" above the surface of the red mounts closest to the flex mods. It produces two beams on top of each other for each aixis.

Beam diameters have EVERYTHING to do with "careful shimming" to get the beams edge to edge without clipping.

Current setup works with beam diameters up to .16".

Its all there
