Then it's official! We've broken the record. (Hard to believe it took almost 3 years.) The 445 nm diode craze is the new king driving traffic to PL.

I've been over on alt.lasers since the '90s because I mostly have a design interest, but this topic was enough to turn me from a guest lurker to a member. Which may or may not be a benefit to you guys. ;-)

Welcome to PL, Dan. Glad we could drag another one from the AM side of the internet, hope you turned the lights out when you left. I haven't been on alt.lasers in years!

I see you're in DC, you should consider joining us at SELEM in August.

also possibly stupid question but everyones super happy ripping apart these unsuspecting projectors... has anyone tried "playing back" a beam/graphic show with one and seeing what the results are?

Look at videos or stills of 445nm lasers with the casio projector. Astonishing color! Look at that photo everyone has seen of the arctos with the cover off!

Hi Dan! Welcome to PhotonLexicon. New members are always a benefit. (Especially one's with experience.) Nice Lexel you've got there. (Looks like a 95...)

I see you're in DC, you should consider joining us at SELEM in August.

I second this! Have a look in the Meet and Greet sub-forum and check out the SELEM threads. I think you'd have a blast, and I know we'd all enjoy meeting you.

Bump... We got 1600 users on right now, a new record of over 1700; 1200 of the users on now are guests. WTF is going on that I am unaware of? Or is Doc's mix that good?

But WHERE are they all? The threads don't grow that quickly. The chat room?? (I checked that out once 'cause that's where the action is supposed to be but...truth be told, heroic kinda scares me a little.)

you get scared to easy come spend some time. She is just truthful blunt and almost 100% correct all the time. If you ask a question she have always given me a great answer. She just calls it as she sees. She has called me out on stuff and if your valid just hold your ground on the topic it all plays very ell actually. Then again you know I speak my mind
