    Mosquito laser update

    Population control... Not that I don't hate the buggers; they do serve a purpose. :poke:

    did the cloud bouncing, so what's next?

    www.photonlexicon.com This is where lasers truly become an obsession and you start to really spend some money. :broke:

    Best Laser Light Meter

    Godo or best? Coherent probably makes the best meters but plan on spending a few hundred to a grand. There are homemade units for a up to a couple hundred dollars. I am not sure how good of a response you will get here but over at photonlexicon.com there are several experts that can give you...

    Will it set a bug on fire?

    No, not 1mW... 1 Watt, 1000mW... :ohgeez:http://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7089

    7 Color Laser Build Tutorial - SCHWEET!

    Have you seen the FlexMod driver? A lot of people use it for their red and blu-ray modules in their projectors. You can use it on greenys also, but most greens have their own driver. ;) It has analog modulation and I am sure you could add a pot to the 5 volt modulation lead for the same...

    7 Color Laser Build Tutorial - SCHWEET!

    Very nice build!!! Do you plan on using it with any scanners for a small projector?

    Violet-emitting laser pointers now commercial.

    Back on topic huh... you could add a 405 to the above, another dichro and mirror and get a white light handheld... ;) So where is that review?

    Violet-emitting laser pointers now commercial.

    You could probably build one for less than $100. I am not saying buy from this seller, but they have both modules, 5mW each Red and green and it says it "ships" from the US...

    Violet-emitting laser pointers now commercial.

    What you need is a nice lil 3mW 594nm pointer. They tend to be a bit on the expensive side, although someone could probably fake one for you with a 1mW green and 3mW red...

    Violet-emitting laser pointers now commercial.

    Personally I don't think anything less than 100mW of 405 is worth having; just not visible enough. Even 445nm is a bit dim under 100mW. I wish there was some way to bring the 445nm diode prices down. Definatly looking forward to a review from the "review master". :candle: I am interested...

    Will it set a bug on fire?

    I have to disagree with this point. A 100mW blu-ray in an Aixiz host can be focused to a nice point that will burn very nicely across a whole room with only the optic included in the host. You'd just need a fast motor to twist the lense fast enough and again the tracking system... :tinfoil:

    Will it set a bug on fire?

    I had a wolfy spider the size of my palm, with legs, crawl across my wall one night, way up top, and when it reached the other wall, which I project my 1W RGB onto; I couldn't help myself. I was making a show anyway; I made a full 1 watt white beam and tried to take him out. :o didn't do a...

    Quick laser safety question

    Only do what you feel safe doing, but, just for perspective; I look at the 1 Watt dot of my Kvant RGB projector hitting my off white wall, 10 feet from the projector all the time. Treat it like the Sun; don't stare at it and make sure you and the ones with you are mostly responsible and you...

    Lasers In Las Vegas

    The lasers themselves are not illegal, the importation of them is now illegal. I beleive this is only for handheld modules over 5mw because I have no problem getting lab modules shipped in. I am not 100% but I think Optronics can still get a higher powered handheld module for you.
