    Where did you get that absolutely stunning example of leather :pcraft??!!

    Funny you should ask, this particular seminal fluid collector was made by our very own resident engineer and horse whisperer.

    Word has it he's one hell of a Nerf-gun painter too!

    ....... and the front glass piece of a true HWS is for protection and isn’t needed for the sight to operate. 

    Yeah by the looks of it, the front glass is there only to encapsulate the thing-a-mo-bober....or seal it.?

    I was never trying to disprove you, I was wit you from the start.

    Hey, I need a horse semen collector and I need it painted like a fisherPrice toy...............you dont happen to know anybody that could help a brother out do you?

    It's your funeral after all the schooling we got here today! If you don't buy whatever his name is you're running tier two at best. Right down to the baby crap brown painted stock with Sgt. Frog green spots.

    like a damn poet Stranger!  

  4. Heres your answer ....had to dig a bit..

    Currently, green lasers are generated by converting the wavelength of infrared laser light from a light source using optical materials, but the light source is large and expensive. In addition, conventional GaN-based green lasers have difficulties achieving sufficient luminosity as their performance is limited to an output power of several tens of milliwatt at a wavelength of 520 nm or less.

     

    To overcome these challenges, Sumitomo Electric and Sony collaborated in the development of a true green semiconductor laser for practical use, drawing on Sumitomo Electric’s semi-polar GaN substrate"

    I thought that's why eotech didn't come out with a green reticle until recently even though cheap green led based sights were popping up on the market.  The green eotechs also have a shorter run time (600 vs 1000 hrs) compared to the red laser diode based systems.  More energy needed to run that diode for that wavelength

    I dont know, maybe the the 1050 nm wave length diode needs more power to push its way through a "K" crystal?  and thats even if it uses a crystal instead of just a reg diode to begin with...

    it probably does though because it will need the photon wave to stay true for use with other optics like magnifiers..

  6. Green lasers need a crystal to transform the 800 to 1050 nm light wave into a green 530ish light spectrum..

     

    Dont quote me on the numbers its been awhile.....good reading though if you were to look it up....well for people who like to read a bout nerdy shit.

  7. From Wiki:

    "

    A laser diode, (LD), injection laser diode (ILD), or diode laser is a semiconductor device similar to a light-emitting diode in which a diode pumped directly with electrical current can create lasing conditions at the diode's junction.[1]:3 Laser diodes can directly convert electrical energy into light. Driven by voltage, the doped p-n-transition allows for recombination of an electron with a hole. Due to the drop of the electron from a higher energy level to a lower one, radiation, in the form of an emitted photon is generated. This is spontaneous emission. Stimulated emission can be produced when the process is continued and further generate light with the same phase, coherence and wavelength.

    The choice of the semiconductor material determines the wavelength of the emitted beam, which in today's laser diodes range from infra-red to the UV spectrum. Laser diodes are the most common type of lasers produced, with a wide range of uses that include fiber optic communications, barcode readers, laser pointers, CD/DVD/Blu-ray disc reading/recording, laser printing, laser scanning and light beam illumination. With the use of a phosphor like that found on white LEDs, Laser diodes can be used for general illumination.

    Also, wouldn't one need a focused source of illumination like a laser to project the hologram.  I would imagine replacing the laser diode with a traditional red led wouldn't give enough focused light energy to make a clear reticle.  The led light would project outward from the emitter in all forward facing directions... It would probably just be a dim blur... if enough light made it through the grating and multiple lenses/mirrors to one's eye.

     

    I'm not trying to be rude... I just want a clear understanding of the system and why it does or does not use a laser.  

    No rudeness taken at all.  Again though, I dont make or design these things.

    So then no lasers at all are involved in the projection of the hologram?  Then why use a laser diode?  Why not save the energy and just use a red LED like red dots?

     

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_weapon_sight

     

     

    probably all in the delivery system. I didn't design it, lol.

    In the red dots, the led is carried by a fiber optic to the reflection emitter.

    The holographic led goes through a screen which determines the shape projected onto your reflective glass. like a cross or circle reticle. 

    .

     

  10. ...and to my knowledge no red dot or holographic sights use a laser. They are all led illuminated.

    Most lasers today are led powered though...
