I Must Take Exception With Your Title
Dear j4cbo,
Upon having received two of the cases you built your 3W projectors into, I feel I must express my dissatisfaction with your original thread title. These cases are not only small, they are REALLY SMALL! Here is a picture of two of them side by side with a pen to compare size:
This means you managed to get 3W of corrected multimode beams, a spatial filter, galvos, and an Etherdream all into this tiny, tiny case. Wow!
I feel it only fair to refer to this thread as "Getting twenty pounds of laser into a five pound bag". In any case, I look forward to duplicating the majority of the work you and PolishedBall did to create this little wonder.
Sincerely,
-David
