Well I got my new toy today!! The Rigel-2 593.5nm by Laserglow Technologies.
And Im very happy with it!!!
I can't wait to try it with some fog!!!!
Now if I could only understand whats going inside this thing
Here are some quick pics.

yellow is such a great color.. I want a >200mW 589nm module myself. A true yellow (no red/green combination) projector seems like it might be pretty awesome. Don't know if I'll ever get one, but it would be sweet nonetheless.
Nice pics!

DUDE!
I'm starting to think you might just like this laser "black hole" you got sucked into....

Yes it is!!Originally Posted by ElektroFreak
I still like blue better
!!
Now that would be amazing!!!!!!I wonder how much one of them would cost?

Rob (Stanwax) has a yellow/blue projector.
Makes a beautiful white.

The short answer is, "magic".Now if I could only understand whats going inside this thing
The slightly longer answer is sum frequency generation, which is basically "magic", unless you've got a degree in non-linear optics. Basically you've got a pair of IR lines lasing in the cavity, and the interference between those two lines in a suitable medium creates a beam who's wavelength is related to the beat frequency produced by the mixing of the two IR lines.
Google "Sum frequency mixing" and "Sum frequency generation" if you want more info. Now read some of the patents. Does your brain hurt yet? Because mine does... Better to just go with "magic", I think!

Ok yeah I think Im just going to go with magic on that!!
Thanks for the links, I just try to understand what makes them do what they do!!lol!!
And yes my head hurts now..

You bringing that to FLEM?
By the way... This works as follows:
The 808nm temperature controlled pump diode causes the ND:YVO4 crystal to lase at the two strongest lines: 1064 and 1342, this in turn is then pumped into a non-linear crystal for summation.
Frequency summation works the same as calculating parallel resistors, so 1/1342 + 1/1064 = 1/Answer
Google is your friend here... http://www.google.com/search?q=1%2F%...1%2F1064%29%29
There is a nice patent about this that I can't find now, but it explains it nicely.
