FS: 10mW 473nm Single Mode DPSS Laser System

[Laser Ben]

I have offered replacements to both people with lasers with beam problems. All of the packages were insured. I tried to wrap them well enough to survive, I guess in Adam's case, that wasn't well enough. I do test them for quite some time before sending them out. I run each one on my power meter until the output has fully stabilized, and I check the beam profile by shining it on a black card.

Ben, I'm sure the laser was fine when it left but you just cannot trust idiots with a degree in boxology to treat your package with care. In order to avoid this kind of frustration in the future, I suggest you take 5 minutes and come up with a good packaging plan. You'll have more happy customers and less wasted time. I don't know if you have ever filed a claim with USPS but they are the biggest pain in the ass to get a check from. I have no doubts you'll solve the problem but a little better packaging can save you a lot of trouble, time and money in the future.

good luck getting a check from USPS, except on the one they forgot to scan as delivered

I was not commenting on the packaging

lol good luck on that... were they double boxed? if not your pretty much SOL most of the time...

Hm, my laser arrived fine, but it seems to diverge too fast. How can I fix this?

[ElektroFreak]

they probably have high divergence by design.. mine is at least 3-4mrad I'm guessing.

what is the application for the laser?

I plan on making a spirograph, so I need it to produce a tight beam.

I got mine from laserBen today and its just fine.
It is a bit flashlighty,but its my first blue,so im happy with it .
if anyone has ideas as to how to reduce the divergence i would be interested in finding out.
Still a great deal for 10 + mw of 473!
