very nice

Thanks Frank,
It's getting there....

is that a HeNe or a Kr?

...Like how ya werked-out the AO-flippy...

is that a HeNe or a Kr?

Pretty-sure he said 'Hekum-Nekum' in the vid-clip... really, a great-way to modulate a HeNe, cause the beam is soo perfekt...

Congrats on your 2Kth post... Hope things are gettin better fer ya..
kit..

Great joerb, Evil!

Yeah, it's just a little 5mW He-Ne. The Nikon and cig smoke makes it look pretty damn powerful though.

ya sorry watched vid without sound (cant wake the gf lol)

ya figured with that nice beam/color it was a hene

Hey Adam,

You could have kept the PCAOM horizontally mounted and simply used a retroreflector style MM mount out of the I70 head. Basically use two MMs to reflect the beam up or down then left or right, this will flip the polarization for you. Build a mount that will allow you to slide the first MM up and down giving you greater flexability to align the incoming beam and making the projector suitable for any laser head.

Yeah man, what were you thinking!

Yeah, and I didn't make that recommendation to him, cause, #1) more labor, tableware-cost, and mirrors to keep clean, and #2) more bounces only increase divergence (if-but only slightly) and that is not something that will be good for this-particular PL's beam-chars, with the optics it has, hours on tube, etc, when a simple flippy-mod did the trick, 'cleaner' and more efficiently / less-lossy, which Sir Evil did a most-excellent job with... (This wern't my first ro-de-o, amigo...)

But thanks for the 'tip'.. 'tis indeed true, and good 411 for the laddies on other projekts...
cheers...

PS - I gather you work for 'LDP'? Just curious...
