The perfect white balance - feedback requested

[krazer]

The charts at the beginning of this thread were a lot of use for making quick estimates on how much power to use, but they appear to have vanished.

Any chance we could get them re-uploaded?

Uh, yeah... they must have been lost in one of my server migrations. Sorry about that. I re-uploaded them to the forum this time.

And i also think the focus is too much on white.
As some people have demonstrated here, it is easy to achieve white with 405nm, though the colour on its self will barely be visible ... (when projecting beams)
I think that this is not desirable in a projector

I've seen a 445 projector in action about 3 weeks ago (combined with 650nm, 532nm) and I have to say it produces some amazing white.

The cyan from a 445+532 combined is also a very bright and visible color.

^Yes it does.. adding 445 to my RGB brought about a huge improvement, I'm already running with 532nm (obviously) and 650nm.. love deep reds too, it's just crappy how it can take so much power for good visibility with deep red.

The best white I ever saw, besides the femotosecond laser comb focused into water, was a 400 watt Co2 focused on a brick of firebrick...
