Fiber coupled laser EP02
🕑 Added 2018-06-13 23:19:03 +0000 UTC The switching CC driver started killing the output electrolytic capacitors for some reason. They get hot and end up in a fluffy explosion. Will have to investigate!

Because of EP02? Nope, sorry, not yet! EP01 was the one with the Pirl charger a while ago. But the next one shouldn't take too long, because I have all the CNC hardware ready basically and the DC-DC driver only needs to get rid of one problem

Wait, is there another video? This takes me to the one you posted yesterday or the day before.

That's some valuable information, thank you! Is there an easy method for cleaving all fibers to precisely equal length? Even if the cleavers job gets easier, I am pretty sure that it wont be able to do all at one

If you submerge the fiber tips in hardcore paint thinner the jacket would dissolve in 5-10 minutes and the Chinese cleaver would give you a super perfect surface finish and no lapping would be even required. The acrylic jacket would turn the glass fiber into bullet proof glass. But be careful, stripped fibers are more fragile than dry spaghetti. Make sure you strip very minutely and then cleave right where the jacket starts again.
