Bloody hell Ben ...

if it does not fire up .... you could put that in the Tate art gallery and expext to get at least 2.4 millon dollars for it ....

and may be me and smog will come and take turns crapping on it


which will double the price


thats a work of art


all the best ... Karl

It's a beauty indeed. Would love to see pictures of it running with the cover off (and on!).

I haven't seen that vid doing the rounds yet (and I'm not sure I'd want to ...)

It works perfectly, I just needed the pinout so I could figure out which is the doubler heater and thermistor as well as the birefringent filter heater and thermistor. Now that is all done so it is just a deal of getting it all hooked up which I should be able to do this weekend.

OOOOO DAMN!!! You took it there?

[Laser Ben]

Nope, that is next on the "Random overpriced things to buy" list

[shrad]

yeah! now you made people dream with that picture!

another pictures with some beams would be the nirvana

[Laser Ben]

Hehe, I can do that later, I have it running at ~500mW with no heating on the LBO or Birefringent filter so it is way off optimal. Hopefully I can get it running correctly sometime soon.

I am hoping this will be like the Millinnia where it emits less then 1mW until you get the crystal to like 160 degrees and then shoots up to over 2W.

It lives! 500mW at 35A with no LBO heating
