9:10 no you don't, you just need a rotating mirror and a photographic camera. Make the beam move fast enough and with a long exposure shot you'll photograph a dotted/dashed line.

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.

This was an incredibly interesting what of conveying this thing which CANNOT be conveyed with your cameras, our screens, and the fact that all of our perceptions - and INTERPRETATIONS - of color are different! 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

Congratulations. This is truly a phenomenal achievement. Related: used to set up video walls back when they were CRT and then dlp. No matter the customer there was at least a man day worth of time teaching color science and theory. The questions were always why doesn't this look as good as they do on TV/ magazine.

I never thought about yellow lasers, but your quest for one got me excited. My dream is a true blue, so now I am excited again! Best of luck with that. Also, 12 was the yellowest yellow to my eyes.

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.

Whoa, we still have a ways to go with perfecting screen and camera technology. I've never been so intrigued by the color yellow, as a fan of green myself.

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.

"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

@@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.

Your brain tries to compensate, so your perception is based on the previously viewed colors. Maybe my choice would be different if you went from red to green?

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.

The first one I thought of as "that's yellow" was 12, but then 13 popped up and I instantly changed my answer. I should note that I've got a calibrated, Pantone certified OLED display. 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.

Congratulations. I thought you were going to say it wasn't correct. Nice to know there is a yellow laser out there.

I suspect the reason it appears green is that sensors with a Bayer arrangement (which sony use) have two green pixels for every red or blue.

good job on video colour correction

13 is pure yellow to my eyes on an iPad Pro. 12 is almost the same, looks like you have a really yellow beauty here :)

I got the same as you, 12 was the most yellow for me on my monitor.

That was alien to watch, just imagining a yellow beam is crazy

I think you should try NUBM07 laser diode module

I just got a hold of some LEDs advertised as 573nm but they appear more like between 9 and 11. Mouser called them yellow-green.

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.

Had a 594nm NeHe laster some long time ago. Unfortunately it didint work for more than a few weak flashes, probably gas pressure related problem. Certainly gas related problems after it fell from a shelf later and broke one of the ends off... It did have a fairly nice yellow for the few moments i could observe it.

When watching through the cards initially, number 11 looked the most yellow to me, but in the composite shot with all the cards, number 13 looked the most yellow and number 11 looked significantly more green.

Undecided between 12 and 13, LG VA panel. The double yellow gap makes sense, we just aren't accustomed to think with it.

I have no idea who you are or what this is for but I'm all with it

12 on a high end highly accurate calibrated screen. 13 almost seems to be it, bit there are hints of red (orange) there. 11 is pretty solid yellow as well, but the intensity isn't as high and i can see a bit of green.

It's not 473, but Tinker does have a 480nm "Ice Blue" option now, that would be a cool wavelength for the color-perception test
