The spectrometer you are using uses Toshiba TCD1304AP linear CCD sensors. It has extremely poor sensitivity above 1000nm, and almost nothing above 1100nm. For this reasons, you need to calibrate it first. One of the better option is to use incandescent light, fit in the Planck's law distribution, and use that as a calibration. It will help a lot, but will still make upper end of spectrum noisy a bit. I am not sure if the software provided with the spectrometer allows doing it internally, but if not, it can be done using external program, or even a spreadsheet.

When a long time ago I worked in the paper industry, I read all kinds of articles about really powerful lasers used or tested for paper (and other materials) cutting. I particularly remember that some people tried how thick packs of paper they could use. They were talking about kilowatt level of power in continuous mode. 10600 nm wavelength CO2. I never was dealing anything that power levels. My experiments were limited to some angle finding using helium-neon laser. Later on, diode laser pointers emerged and I bought a couple of them -- still have both! But the real reason for my comment is that at one time I was involved in an attempt to measure, and potentially control the paper web moisture content immediately next to the dryer cylinder. The idea was that measuring the water vapor content would tell the paper web moisture content, or at least tell something about the moisture variation. And somebody had an idea that to be water vapor specific, you would start with water vapor laser. Of course. Sad to say, we were a bit amateurs and did not have a matching wavelength detector available. It appeared the laser probably worked but our broad band receiver saw all kinds of wrong phenomena.

styropyro only beat him in doing utterly crap with very strong lasers, like putting things on fire, blowing up stuff, popping balloons, etc... I know styro from LPF forums and he a great person there, but his YT videos are utter crap IMO. and complete lack of the actual fascination of lasers from an adult and mature perspective.. it's a pupe-fetich seeking the lowest common value of yt-clicks from mainly the very young pupe-crowd by doing stupid stuff with high-powered-lasers and blowing stuff up, and it ain't really young kids you want messing with high powered lasers. and its acts like that give lasers a bad rep. and likely also why makers go out of their way to make these high powered DLPdiodes not available for the public, not least hence these new multi diode-arrays where even spec sheets it hard to find and close to impossible to separate..

1052nm is a weaker lasing line of the neodymium. These crystals can lase at many different frequencies and at many different efficiencies, but they can fight each other for gain. The "correct" line is chosen with a dicroic coating on the facets, but these coatings aren't perfect. Sometimes other lines sneak in. I once had a green pointer that lased at 532, 537, and 542nm simultaneously presumably due to a coating defect.

I’m a studying laser technician an perhaps I can help you with what you’re seeing on the Hercules laser. I believe you are seeing what are called longitudinal modes aka standing waves. These are wavelengths of light that are able to exist in the laser cavity due to the constructive interference of the way you laser cavity is configured.

Since you asked... I've got you beat on the blue laser, mine being the 2W version and the calibration sheet showing ~2.5W. I didn't really believe that rating at first and thought they were probably inflating the numbers a bit, but after seeing how close yours was, maybe it actually that stong. Also, a faster way to get the max power setting is hold down the button while powering on, then when you press the button it is on at full power, and shuts off when you release it.

You should look into building a DIY spectrometer. It would help out a lot of the DIY optics and laser community… And bring a lot of people to your channel! There really isn’t a good professional DIY spectrometer that is open source… At least I haven’t been able to find one. There are a lot of nice DIY versions but they all end up looking like a cardboard box painted black. 3-D printing the case is a little better I guess.… But for For 50 bucks on eBay, you get a solid aluminum enclosure (normally referred to as the optical bench) with the right geometry. It’s already been manufactured to perfection by ocean optics. Who makes some of the best budget spectrometers around. Or For around $100 from the same seller you can get the optics bench, and all of the important optics needed for the instrument. All made by ocean optics. Then all you need is the sensor and a bit of work. And you’re all set. you have a DIY $150 ocean optics UV visible spectrometer. Which cost about $1500 new. You’re in a great situation to do something like that because it would not only be fun and enjoyable, but it would bring people to your channel and help out the DIY laser/optics community. And you already have a calibrated spectrometer so you could make sure the DIY version works properly

Weeellllllllll I think I have your Wickedlaser beat at 60 trillion watts of 351nm UV laser pulses of 30 kilojoules each. (but to be fair....that's at work) ^_^ I really don't know what that line at 1153nm is. I thought maybe it was the second lasing line of NdYAG, but that's at 1123nm and your spectrometer's resolution is obviously more than high enough to resolve those two wavelengths. Maybe it's fluorescence or Raman scattering of the laser power meter material?? Anyway that's a nice spectrometer, I really like it. It's substantially cheaper than an Ocean Optics unit and seems to do about as good a job. I've been looking for something inexpensive like this to take spectra of various phosphorescent materials.

That sure is a monster pulsed laser. UV lasers scares me no matter the power... Not really suitable for home use ;) That 1152-1153 nm peak sure is a mystery. Neon has a spectral line at 1153 nm, but there's little to no neon in the air. It could be the coating material of the laser power meter reacting to the very intense Hercules laser as you mention. It may not be the overall strongest laser in my collection, but it is the most intense with high power in a narrow beam. Yep, I chose the Lasertack LR2 (actually made by Aseq Instruments in Canada) since it seems to offer great performance for way less than the more established lab suppliers. Though, the LR2 is still expensive for my budget :) Thanks patrons!

Really loved this video, very charming and relaxing. My favorite laser in my collection is my 5.5W diode laser at 405nm which I attach to my 3D printer to cut and engrave wood and other things. I love that a small and relatively cheap add on can add so much functionality to the machine. I also have 2.5 and 0.5W diode lasers attached to the printer, all through a custom switch box I designed and printed and which has those big chunky old style metal switches with a satisfying click. The power circuit for the 5.5W laser causes a bit of latency in the PWM signal that I use to control it so it's not as precise as the weaker ones which I use for more detailed engravings, but it burns through 3mm thick wood in a fraction of a second which give me great joy. Of course I could get a CO2 laser cutter that would blow it out of the water but those are expensive and huge and I like the DIY aspect of the diode lasers.

A 5.5 watt diode that's insane I don't think I would have any use for that even if I could make it work in a pointer or need it to cut some things XD my strongest is probably around two Watts.

Kay, now what I wanna see you do is take an I.R. filter and a visible light filter and put them in front of your leaky green lasers while holding them in front of the power meter and see how much power is green light and how much power is actually infrared light.

Thanos 5w is my most powerful. Havent used it on a spectrometer, but labeled as 445nm and color seems correct enough... friend has the power gauge for it (why can I not remember the technical name?) But the 5w laser was actually putting out 5.7w on fully charged 26650 batteries

Might be. It just seems very narrow to me. Wouldn't heat be more widely spread over the infrared spectrum? And wouldn't I see it with the more powerful lasers (though their beams are wider and therefore of less intensity). Thanks for watching!

@@brainiac75 If it is heat, maybe it will shift over time as it gets hotter. It could be that specific wavelengths (secondary infrared included) heats the surface material more than others. The intensity and dot size differences between devices may play a rule too. However heat radiation should be indeed more widespread, maybe that changes with temperature as well. The alternative eventualities are the effect of optics or the age of the devices, including dust/dirt/moisture in the air or in the devices. My guess is still on the heat, though. Maybe you can setup an experiment to investigate that in an upcoming video. Furthermore thanks for your Content!

For most laser Injuries (from Photonics- Algonquin college) algiment of lasers leads to increased risk of a high powered laser hiting your eyes. Also even if your wearing Safety goggles they only protect against indirect hits from a laser. I work at home with 100-150 mW lasers (Red, Blue, Green and violet) and I always wear safety glasses Lasers are no Joke a Instant blindness with one mistake.

Hey, laser hobby enthusiast here the diode in the cyan one is sadly the 488nm one is based on the sharp 488 sample diode, not the Osram one. The Osram 488 diode has better beam specs and a much narrower spectrum also it is exactly 488nm the sharp ones being engineering samples deviate in the range of 484- 495nm. as you can imagine the price for a single diode is more in the range of 200+ $, I myself have gotten lucky with a 481.7nm diode its pure deep blueish cyan. If you have any questions feel free to contact me on discord with any questions! ( Giannis_TDM#2782 ) also, the red one at 700 is the oclaro/Ushio 700mw diode at 638nm the diode on the WL spyder is either an A140 or A130 depending on how old the laser is. Also, You can join the styropyro discord if you want to ask me there I may be a moderator but don't hesitate to ping me anytime! (and personal collection as of now: 638nm red 417mw by me pen alu Sharp GH0637AA2G G2 Random flea market 303 doing(532nm) 100+mw 525 850mw custom by me brass 10440 pen host G8 (NUGM03) 505nm TBDmw custom host by me(diode in shipping) 488nm From copper 10440 pen host (In shipping) 481.7nm by me calculated 50-60mw 10440 pen host brass 3E 450nm 1400mw in my custom small form factor alu/brass 10440 host 3E 405nm 80nw Custom host alu ) Have a good day!

I'd like an OPSL, but I also have a large collection of DPSS and direct diode lasers, plus a HeNe. Not sure I'd want to advertise them in a public video, but I think I have a fair enough excuse, as I used to do product development work using lasers for various purposes. I'm also an amateur holographer, but only two of my lasers are capable of making decent holograms.
