Build in progress

After some experimenting, I decided on my final setup.
Today I started making some of the parts. I'm happy with the progress so far.

The little plate and angle are for prisms. After those the two beams will be combined.

A dueling situation off the bat ....nice. My tinkerings......1.5" x 1.5" x 3.25" TEC cooled.....the dual will be only .375" wider.

Totally different league

nice work.

In my defense, I am somewhat limited by my workshop. I only have a drill press a handsaw and some files ... (I know a poor workman blames his tools)

I tried avoiding the use of the aixiz modules, but again I couldn't make what I wanted with the tools I have.

Also, the drivers will be in the rear of this module (TEC and diode drivers)

I should end up with a module that has about the footprint of my Viasho 1W

Nice! Are you losing much in the optics?

**FourDee** · 06-21-2010, 11:02

I honestly have no idea

But I'm guessing yes : uncoated prisms, red AR coated PBS, ...

I will change the PBS over time

Well it's back to the drawing board
These mounts didn't turn out to be very thermally stable ...

This has been sitting like this since friday ...

Very nice! What type of beam are you getting out of those prisms?
