stacking red LOC's ?

[f150trk21]

Thanks for the info Edison. So corrective optics wouldnt squeeze the four llll beams together enough. Came up with this design where beam B is knifed over beam A, think that will work to stack beams?

wow! you could keep it simpler and use only 2 mirrors, a pbs and a waveplate to make this

search a bit for quad red designs here.

one very quick search came up with this recent post http://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/...light=quad+red

and i wish i could find my own pics.. no time to upload new ones now, sorry. but this proves to be the least hustle - best beam design

I see how that would be simpler, but I already have a quad mount from Andy and a pbs/waveplate seem costly.

Optimas are hear. Unfortunately they are not in pill capsules this time. Shouldn't be a problem to cut the plastic tray.

I will PM everyone here shortly with the totals.

Excellent! That was quick and just in time, I just orderd a shit load of barrels for these from Dave.

Ahh.. What's with the danger sign, they got a beam stuck in the lens or what?

I'm paranoid of lawyers. Don't want to get sued if someone missuses the lenses.

No, just kidding. The lenses are sitting on top of a projector. I am scared of lawyers though

Ok. I think I PM'ed everyone. Even with the small number of members in this group buy it can be hard to keep track of. Big ups and respect to Dave and other here that organize huge GB's.

You're a legend, thanks Woody

I'm very much looking forward to getting these Optima lenses. In the meantime, I wondered if anyone here could answer my query about these lenses' perfomance with the Opnext 170mW diode in the following post...

I hope you can help
