Received the second component of my future project



https://www.crytur.cz/products/cryphosphor-single-crystal-phosphor/
So I finally got my hands on some single crystal YAG:Ce phosphors! :smiley:
Not cheap, over $300 because the minimum order quantity was 5, and they are only 3mm x 3mm.
They had some 5mm x 5mm ones too but that would have cost me over twice as much, although those would have been easier to work with.

Next items on my purchase list:
-blue laser
-blue laser driver
-blue laser lens
-blue laser protection goggles

It will be a while before I can test out the performance of the phosphors but Iā€™m really excited anyway :slight_smile:

looks interesting project :+1:

What can I say but highly looking forward to another one of your amazing world beating builds. :beer:

Cannot wait

Iā€™ve never been so excited to own a tiny expensive yellow square

Sure you didnā€™t ā€œfindā€ those in an ā€œabandonedā€ warehouse?? :laughing: :laughing:
Canā€™t wait to see what you do with ā€™em. Did you study physics or engineering by chance? Just curious.

Always interested in your builds. Being laser powered this one has my attention.

such a cool looking project

I anticipate another endermanā€™s epic buildā€¦with several LEPs ?

Hahaha I actually had to pay for these!
Iā€™m currently in engineering.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Nah just one, but minimum order quantity was 5.
Probably a good thing though because Iā€™m sure I will burn through at least some of themā€¦

Cool!

The world is becoming more interesting since you can just buy anything now that used to be only available to specialised companies.

Iā€™m sure that you will have more than $300 worth of fun with these! :slight_smile:

Sure hope so! :smiley:

I wonder what would it do on top of White Flat dieā€¦

If I knew how to remove the phosphor layer from a white flat I could try it.

All I know is that Saablaster claimed to be able to swap phosphor from SST-40 to XHP35. As well as to lift the die off the XHP35 package and put it on a diamond heatsink. Osram LEDs are different, but maybe he would be capable of doing a similar surgery to them as well.
Would he be willing to help you with that? I have no idea.

Very nice! Do you plan on beating polar-liā€™s BFF (farthest thtoewing portable light)?

Good idea

My plan was to kill a Weltool
take the inside
and put it together with a 120 mm lens and Collar.

But I do not do this,cause the power is to less,

If yo wanna sell 2 pieces of the single crystal YAG:Ce phosphors
I will buy it.Send me a message please .

Thanks in advance

Xandre

Which one? Is it on the list or am I missing it?

Sounds good, Iā€™ll let you know if I have spares :slight_smile:

This light , the BFF, will beat them all. We donā€™t really need a measurement to know that. He is using a special bulb with an extremely high luminance that I never knew existed before.

A conservative estimation puts the throw at around 250Mcd.

Oh cool :slight_smile:
Well I only have very rough theoretical numbers which are probably not anywhere close to real performance, but I have high hopes.
Once I order the laser and start doing intensity test of the phosphor crystal then I will have a better idea.
