G'day John, Vikki, Roy Derek et al.
I think this thread should come to an end before we feel the
ire of those who would want to "sit back and sift".
Even though discussion has drifted away from the topic it has
generated a healthy forum on an engineeering subject and
perhaps broadened the understanding of some. I know others
will "stick tp their guns".
Hi Ian es all,
I've been kind of busy for the past couple days but reading the
mail as I can.
With the one from MM coming, truthfully I don't know if I will
consider proceeding with this or not.
It has been fun, but there is limited $$$ involved :-(. I'd love
to see what the sapphire balls would do though and experimenting
with different filters / waveguides.
I am thinking that the laser pointers are just too inconsistent
quality wise, there may be some answer to that but the only
other options I have seen are ungodly expensive.
And, as noted, I spent more than the cost of the MM unit on cheap
laser pointers alone at this point.
Perhaps it could just be a hobby exploration over time, who
knows?
Thanks to everyone who provided feedback and food for thought!
Take care, Vikki.
