PHR-803T E-Series 405nm Laser

[darkzero]

Not a flashlight but it is a homemade & my first time making a body for a laser rather than using a flashlight for a host. Not as "bright" as a green one but since it outputs UV it's pretty cool making things glow. Haven't played with it much yet but if focused tight up close it will burn through paper & light a match.

Hope the owner enjoys.

wow

Really nice. I'm surprised more people haven't commented on this.

It looks amazing.

nice machining.

Very nice dz. Your machining skills are already looking formidable and allied to your soldering excellence and electronic nous, there can be no stopping you now. :thumbsup:

Surgical build!

Thanks Daniel.

I'm surprised more people haven't commented on this.

No worries, after all this is a flashlight site. :laughing: I've received plenty of feedback on it from other sites. Didn't plan on it but looks like I will have to make some more, hopefully they come out a little better.

So I guess no more flashlights & off to lasers for a while.

Can anyone give me some tips on how to take beamshots of a laser to capture the entire beam in the photo without using smoke or fog?
:candle: :thinking:

I only have a Canon PNS, is it possible?

 

[Bimmerboy]

Best thing I can think of is to ask over at Photonlexicon, or perhaps laserpointerforums.

My best offhand suggestion though, if you haven't tried already, is to stand as close to directly behind the beam as possible, while still having enough angle to see along the beam length. With no smoke, or fog... try to take the pics on the most humid night possible. Not sure how many of those you get in SoCal, but we get plenty on the east coast. Lasers often look pretty kickin' over here.

Hope that was of help!

From almost directly behind, on even a moderately well lit night, the beam is visible forever (or so it seems). Pollen also helps display the beam, and we have lots of pollen right now.

Will's laser is the first one I've owned, and it is brighter than anything I've ever seen. The dot is easy to see at 300' on poorly reflecting surfaces (tree leaves). I can't imagine how far it can be seen on a reflective surface.

Awesome job :twothumbs
