As I promised, am starting a new thread on this subject because i'll have a lot of stuff to post and don't want to pollute other threads. I'll use mostly OPT Lasers lenses, but also others if I get them to compare.
I plan on doing testing until the optimum squeeze ratio is established using a simple and fairly affordable cylindric lens system for extremely wide NUBM44 diode after a G2 lens.
I will also need your input for some of the measurements and comparison.
Goal: Obviously is the tightest beam with most power transmission. Best beam profile, and simplest way to do it.
Prize: quickest way for everyone to do it either built into their laser, or add on adapter to already existing laser.
If we can get this sucker FINALLY under "tight" control, we can get any diode in the future.
