    Ok, sorry for the delay guys. We are in the middle of a re-think on the lower power module. We may be scrapping the lower power unit as we have almost zero interest in comparison to the higher power unit.

    The higher power units should be available in a few days. I am working on getting the video up also.

    I will keep you guys updateded the next few days.

    Is this product dead? I have not seen any info or products from the manufacturer yet other than two picts.

    You know what they say- If it's sounds to good to be true then...

    BRAVO WELL SAID.

    Better home made than China Made. :cheers:

If it is American made, more points. if it is chinese? Well, I'll need to see it out perform what I can cobble together with old parts before I throw wads of cash at China.

    So are these diode pumped neodymium yttrium orthovanadate crystals in a resonant cavity producing 1064 nanometers of coherent light or is there a frequency doubling non linear crystal such as potassium titanium oxide phosphate included in the cavity to produce 532 nanometer coherent light? The market for diode pumped solid state lasers has been driven by low cost green (532 nanometer) producing modules for the entertainment industry, so I am assuming some form of this type laser is being used? I think practical end pumping of the Nd:YVO4 would be 2 watts, and with a 60% efficiency (possible?) you could get over 1 watt of 1064nm if you are not trying to double the frequency. The big problem is that 1064nm is not absorbed as well as longer wavelengths such as carbon dioxide lasers (10600 nm) in organic materials such as paper, plastics and wood. I think this is one reason you are seeing darker woods mark better than lighter woods. Also, on clear acrylics, you might even have some of the energy pass through the material instead of vaporizing it. Some of this can be overcome by spoiling the quality factor of the resonant cavity (q-switching) but I think the tiny length of these cavities (under 2 inches?) and the high cost of q-switches and their RF drivers would make this unpractical.

    Maybe soon the chinese will start to make fiber optic lasers. Then you will have a pocket sized laser producing 100 watts.

    Keep me posted, sounds like a good low cost marking solution. You can get the chemicals on Ebay for marking metals.

    @KTP - LOL!!

    That was English I fully understood it. But I also am an old school Laser nerd.

    KTP, This also could just be a 808 pump diode collimated. I would much rather just have 40W Co2. This sound like vapor ware to me. This guy doesn't seem to know much about laser.
    He should have fun dealing with the cdrh and getting a variance. Sends shivers up my spine thinking about a bunch of people with 2w of invisible light haphazardly burning stuff, their own eyes included..

    after reading this thread I played around with diode lasers and I just don't see the power and/or efficiency as well as durability being there. I am looking for something relatively low-cost to cut thin ply and balsa on my CNC mill.

    Hi: guys

    I’m also looking for laser to use to cut round disk out of acrylic 1/16’ thick, I need cut a lot of them, I was told 25 watt should do it. I have cnc table just need low cost laser
    You can email me with any suggestion
    (my email = [email protected])

    Thanks
