TRUE YELLOW LASER or not? 25+ years wait over? // Valkyrie 573 donated by Tinker Lasers

  • Handheld, yellow lasers do not exist. That is my experience after I last year tried three that were advertised to emit some shade of yellow. None of them looked yellow to me...
    In this video, I give it another try. Can I fill the yellow gap between red and green with a new laser that should emit a wavelength right between the ones I have tested to be closest to yellow?
    Is it true yellow? How powerful is it? What is its true wavelength? How does it work? Will my camera recording in RGB (red green blue) even film it right? Let's find out!

      Yep, it is a dream of laser despite its caveat of TEM01/10-mode (I've heard that some of them hit TEM00, though it is rare). I do have enough colors to make a decent laser rainbow now. The issue is that some of them - like the 593.5 nm amber one - have short duty cycles so it will be tricky to have them all lighted at once without overheating some of them. But its not impossible - maybe with a little help from some friends... Thanks for the early watch as always!

    9:10 no you don't, you just need a rotating mirror and a photographic camera.

      That works, good idea. I wouldn't suggest a long exposure - the shorter the exposure the higher the frequency you can capture whereas the longer the exposure the more accurately you can measure leading to a trade off. But absolutely moving the laser at a consistent (preferably high) speed would allow a high frequency pulse to be detected and all relevant details measured with reasonable accuracy by a lower frequency camera. A spinning mirror would offer that (with some line length trig needed). Again, great idea. - From a random postgraduate physicist.

    You managed to solve all of these, by telling us that, to your eyes, the laser most closely matched the 12 sample. And while we have no real confirmation for ourselves, you've basically narrowed the gap down to... "your credibility and our willingness to trust in you," which is quite a bit easier than... just assuming all of those other variables are somehow magically correct for each and every viewer.
    Furthermore, the spectrometer helped! And the additional complication at 5:00 was fascinating!! I love when videos are this thorough

    From what I remember from my practical physics lasers courses, you can get yellow by using non optimal angle on the OPO (optical parametric generation) crystal . I don’t know the efficiency but it should be pretty low compared to green if you use a 1064 nm laser, but with the crazy power/price we can get nowadays maybe it would be enough to get 20mw of yellow output at a reasonable price.
    Maybe the large metal casing is to dissipate more efficiently the waste heat.

    There's no "yellow gap" in camera. The only reason colour reproduction failed is that no tristimulus camera implements human metamerism. Every camera uses colour profile to produce realistic output but it can only do that for some subset of spectral distributions and it so happens that your camera's profile kills pure yellow.
    In principle there is nothing preventing same issue with red, green and blue since all of them are recorded as a mix.

      It's not really a camera issue entirely, with the proper sensor it can capture any visible light color (just as their spectrometer can, just depends on the sensor though). The bigger issue is with the screen itself. Most monitors use the sRGB color space and things with nearly singular wavelength spectral distributions like lasers will resolve to colors outside this gamut. As such these colors will end up as imaginary colors in sRGB and will clamp into the gamut which will distort their hue. With a proper theoretical monitor that had perfect coverage of the entire gamut this color could be displayed properly, and in time monitors with say Rec 2020 coverage will cover most the perceptible human visual gamut anyways and won't distort colors quite so much, so this is mostly just an issue with current 90s-era non-WCG monitor color standards beyond just the sensor's ability to capture it.

      "Aren't CMOS sensors with RGB filters, ergo non of them are passing monochromatic yellow?"
      That's false. Every non-specialized image sensor has sensitivity to all wavelengths between 400 and 700 nm.
      "It's not really a camera issue entirely, with the proper sensor"
      You did not read my comment. You do not understand what I say but you also do not ask questions.
      "The bigger issue is with the screen itself."
      There is no issue with screens. Any sRGB-calibrated screen is capable of accurate colour reproduction of any correctly recorded colour within it's gamut.
      Cameras on the other hand cannot ever be calibrated except for a subset of spectral distributions. A set of spectral distributions might produce same colour for a human but it will get mapped to different colours in the camera. The characteristic which defines whether it happens or not is "metamerism".

    • @presentfactory
      @presentfactory Před 2 měsíci +1

      @@user-yc5fq9bv3u You didn't read what I said. This yellow laser color is fundamentally outside the sRGB gamut, and therefore is impossible to display on any consumer monitor which is likely part of why it shifts to green like this. You probably do not fully understand how color works in computers if you do not think the monitor is an issue in this case.
      This has nothing to do with "metamerisms", I do not think you again understand how color works in computers. Spectral data once measured can be converted to human-recognizable colors via color-matching functions that have been measured based on human perception. All computer color is already based around these "metamerisms" and other perceptual illusions with saturation, contrast and etc (with varying degrees of accuracy depending on the model use).
      Of course, the camera is not a spectrometer so the problem may also be that indeed something with how it measures the color, but it does not really need to know what the exact spectral distribution is to know what color it is if it has a conversion to these other established color spaces. It's not going to be perfect but yeah it clearly works well enough when designed properly as cameras look quite accurate to what we see otherwise.

    I think they are achieving the frequency by employing Doppler shift. I also believe they are accomplishing this in one of two ways:
    #1: get as close as possible with traditional, off the shelf technology and then direct the beam into a rotating mirror at a specific angle of incidence. The resultant "reflected light" would have it's wavelength lowered by a predictable (but more importantly) TUNEABLE amount
    2: To obtain the needed Doppler shift without the need for bulky spinning mirrors, you could use a mirror mounted onto a piezoelectric material like quartz, and then all you would have to do is tune the frequency until you get about double the yellow frequency. Once you are at double the desired frequency, you simply intermittently interrupt the beam so that it appears to be half of what it actually is.
    I'm probably not describing it in a way that makes sense but i can visualize it in my head.

Other displays, tend to be red-shifted from factory to (over) compensate for the blue phosphor in the backlight because people generally prefer warmer light sources. In full saturation with no context, it would make sense that "yellow" would be perceived a frame or two sooner than on a display intended for real-world color accuracy.

    A couple more interesting phenomena that can be observed with 573nm is red shifting during scotopic conditions. The 573nm will look purer yellow in darker conditions than in lighter. And vast colour perception changes depending on what reference source is used. For example use that 558nm next to it and the 573nm will look like 583nm. You don't have too have the reference source on when observing the 573nm either. Your eyes need to readjust so you can turn off the reference source and use the 573nm straightaway afterwards and observe a change. This also works in the other direction when using a longer wavelength as a reference.
