Visit from a Porn Star

[Insanity]

Now that I have your attention

A friend came over tonight to show me his new toy, a very nice 8 watt Coherent Taipan OPS Laser. So I guessed it would be rude not to share the moment with you guys...

Now for the porn bit:

Did we switch it on? Course we did

Here's the spot, best I could get, but rest assured it was a perfect circle...

Things started getting a little warm to say the least, so a bit of heat sinking was in order...

How tight is that beam?

Coherent makes some of the best lasers in the world and they are also about the best laser company support wise also... not perfect but if you ask nicley they often come through and help with issues that are beyong what is written in the product warranty. Nice laser.

That thing looks seriously sexy indeed

How much is the beam divergent and with which diameter? I've always wondered if these Taipan was worth a fortune, versus another brand/type of the same power but alot "cheaper"...

[SrS]

bummer, with a name like this thread I was at least hoping to see some internal shots

[Insanity]

@ SBK: The beam is 2.5mm at aperture with 0.4MRad divergence, we measured 9.6 watts. The laser ramps up to full output in seconds and is stable as a very stable thing

@ SRS: All in all very sexy, a true porn star. However, I think removing the casing for internal shots would definitely have resulted in my immediate death

[badger1666]

if that true why no adjustment in the settings ? only for rgb
and setup wizard has no mention of more than 3 colours, now i am confused

[dsli_jon]

Hey Mr C -

why do all the big pro projectors that use opsl ,have a yellow one ?? .
why do they need it ?

Cuz yellow, by itself, and, Y + other colors looks different than G + those same colors... ie: the 577 Y of OPSL + 445 B, makes for a rather 'otherworldly' white, that you just can't get with RGB, let alone just G+B.. Additionally, 'optical fx', such as lumia, machitas, etc are *waay* richer / more-interesting with an RYGB-source, vs just an RGB... To me, the 'ultimate' OPSL system would be RYGGCBBB... that's, at least, most of the way to an Ion-pallete...

I'm about to post some pix in yer 'NYE' thread, that will make this 'point' about Y... IF that's OK with you... If not, just lemme know and I'll can-em...

..and, sorry, Sir Mark, bout the 'detour' in yer thread...
chers..
