Web Links
Just some sites I've found interesting and related lasers and light in general.
Over time and considerable web surfing I have come across many great sites. These include of course hobby sites, as well as commercial laser sites, and many general laser information sites. The following link list will be helpful for the laser / light hobbyist -
Perhaps the most influential of laser websites for has been the Sam's Laser FAQ site which is part of a much larger Sam's Repair FAQ that covers pretty much every aspect of electronics and repair including lasers. To this day I don't think I've seen the whole thing! This site is truly Awesome! Oh, and there are numerous links in the site that you can explore while there.
There are a few other website links scattered throughout this website that I have also collected here for convenience - These have been some of my most visited sites. The one I think has been by far the most helpful to me is Laser FX. It is a truly amazing website FULL of very useful and educational info.
There are quite a few laser and laser show related websites out there... here are a few more of the sites I visit on occasion -
This is the main page of Pangolin's website. Nothing on the LSD 1000 software but interesting still.
Lots of good info, just text and links. Some pretty useful info in there.
Although there are others, this is a nice general purpose adjustable current source laser diode driver board.
Much good info on old and new lasers, optics and equipment.
More links to come as I have time to add them
Forum websites are generally a great place to go for learning and asking any question you have about laser hardware, software, shows, etc.
Surpriingly there are not very many laser forums out there... below are a few I found to check out.
Great forum, big variety of info here and maybe some links to more software.
Discussion forum focusing on lasers, laser pointers and all technology related to lasers.
This is the english version of a German laser forum... check it out!
