Building your own 473nm laser from 808 using an LBO

[Laserman532]

Thanks for the info... looks pretty hard core.. but from reviewing those posts it's not clear to me that anybody has gotten it to work yet. heh. Also, the costs quickly exceed the cost just to purchase one... plus endless amounts of time. This might not be a good direction for me. heh.

Anyway, thanks so much for the info, I will keep researching. I just got first light on my galvo... only green is online now, but have a bunch of parts in the mail to give me a 405/650/532 "RGV" setup. None of my drivers are 'analog', so I'm going to have to build my own drivers for the lasers I have. This will also help with color balance, I assume.

Has anyone tried to use a webcam to assist with color calibration? Seems like it might be doable. ...

If you tossed out out a 7 nanosecond , self contained , 300 mJ , 20 hz , 110V yag with a water to air heat exchanger, the whole thing the size of a desktop PC, I feel for ya. It just got sold to a University in Buffalo, so I need a new avatar.
That thing snaps the air on every pulse, when focused.

Somebody had to keep your attention for 15 seconds, Ad Hominum attacks keep you stimulated.

Pat;

Your new avatar suits you. I like it a lot. (Truth be told, your old avatar gave me the creeps, dude...)

Now, as for the "runner up" picture that you posted above... All I can say is:
