1.8W "Turquoise" module

[steve-o]

Building a palm-of-your-hand blue/green "module" that can be easily removed from an RGB projector for repairs and/ or upgrades. Includes dual 445s and dual 100mW mini 532 12mm laser units. What'chall think? It was a fun build. Almost done. Just got 2 more power supplies to build. And then comes the ML501P73s, hopefully .. anyway .. picys ...

if you want a decent 400mw green laser for under 200$ you can email o-like.
They are not the small cheap 12mm they are the larger 22mm 2W pumps. they are being driven at 1,500 to 1,600mw.
They even have a thermistor built into the driver circuit.
Looks cool.
The 22 may make it a bit bigger.

Care to link. To the right laser at olike Please

These are O-like modules. I like the compact ones. One is a 100mw the other is 150 and I have a 200mw on the way. I am having a bit of an issue with one of them though. Yes, link please?

Note that they do not just list the module by itself but if you email them and ask for it they will sell it to you.
granted its only around 15 to 25$ cheaper than buying the whole laser, but i did not want to have to worry about breaking anything to pull it apart.
You will want a 22mm drill bit or a 55/64 bit. (55/64 is about 0.006766732 to small)

you could go with a lasever 800mw green

if anyone uses any of the high power pointer modules they like to be run at the right temp if you want full power out of them.
my viasho oem only gives full power at 29deg, above or below that the power drops off quickly
so it used with a die4chill, and kept wrapped up in insulation, so it does not pull any heat from around it(also helps it warm up quicker)
can be very slow if used in a cold enviroment when not insulated

[steve-o]

So what is the consensus on the "best" oem module? Good quality w/ Vashio? Lasever? ..

Aww that's the cutest argon I ever saw! 488nmish without the kilowatt power supply :-)

[steve-o]

I wish it was a 1W argon that size .. heh ..

What is interesting is that if you mix that green with the blue and use it as a module you can "dial a blue" One of the things I dislike about 445 is it is sooo deep. Mixing in a little green helps visibility and lets you get back to a 457 like color. Linearity between the lasers and matching divergence and size would be the hard part. I tried it with my green and it is hard to control. You only need like 20mw of green for a 1W of blue.

[steve-o]

Yeah the 445 looks almost violet to me. Adding just that pinch of green seems to spark up the visibility making the beam look almost like a 457 or even a 488. I can see your point about the lineararity. I haven't tried to modulate them both together yet.

the direct injection green diodes look very suitable for this task
just a bit more patience for the price to come down

Yeah, that's definitely something to look forward to! They need to hurry up and put them on the market for us hobbiests, and for a reasonable price under $100

Just dropped the lil' sucker in the new projector build a few minutes ago .. all that's left to do now is the 638 reds ..
