Combining 405nm and 473nm ???

**Phredy1** · 04-01-2010, 16:50

Has anyone ever combined a 405nm blu-ray and a 473nm together?

If yes, what is the best way?

Ideally a pass 405nm / reflect 473nm dichro would be perfect, but I don't think one exists.

i would reflect 405 (because that is the mirror in the sleds) and pass 473

Either way would work. As long as I could get both into one beam.

do you need one of those mirrors? I have a couple old sleds laying around.

I'm not sure yet. I have not torn apart the new 12x burner to see what is inside it.

If I do I will shoot you a PM. Thanks..!!

let me know

i combined two 405 through a cube then used a laserwave dichro to combine with the rest

I'm doing it with a Semrock Dichro. My reasoning is that I have 4 lasers passing through so I dont want to lose ~5-10% of each laser. It is very nice, only 1-2% losses on each laser.

I have 2 12x blu-rays combined with a PBS, I'm still debating on how much power to set them at :-/

350mW each should be playing it safe.

Laserwave has a reflect 405nm / pass 473nm dichro I just found out.

That is exactly what I need.
