what a great day, ive done it!


prism pair only

apeture 5mm by 3mm

20-25mm wide @ 18metres

diode is outputting 1000mw after optics 800mw so a big loss but...

I still say we need to split that beam in half... not sure what axis, and put it on top of the other side to get two 12.5 mm beams at 18 meters... I think that would be as close to a "square beam" as we are going to get.

Hahaha, i think you can stop calling Simon the only master dude.
If you really managed to get the blue to 3x2mm and only 30mm at 18m i think you can call yourself a master Andy !
Well done, i am so curious how you pulled it off man !

yep 3x2mm @ 30mm @ 18 metres

i hear what your saying and i kind of agree 30mm wide isnt the greatest shape beam. but you have to weigh things up here and im impressed with the beam ive manged to get. reducing the size at apeture means i can combine more together without loosing any off the galvo mirrors

Get some chumbawumba galvos; what problem?

i dont wana be able to do my make up in em there so big

[badger1666]

so why wont you share your idea on optics ??
thats just teasing

[andy_con]

yeah sorry .

I would say your using. A 2:1 expander..

I reckon I could get it a lot smaller when I find some spare time ;-)

you would be very wrong, but i look forward to seeing your results dave

[hobbybob]

mmm.. how did you do that ?
Did you maybe place 2 prismpairs behind each other (no idea if that works hahahaha).
Just guessing mate, i am really impressed by 3x2mm...

[laser_freak]

my new optics setup which i wont be posting details of

apeture 3mm by 2mm

30mm wide @ 18 metres

I'm curious why you don't want to post the details. I understand that you make and sell laser modules, but not sharing valuable information is only detrimental to the community.
Plus now I'm extremely curious what it is
