Hey Everyone! I'm new here, and quite new to the world of lasers...It all seems very interesting and I'd like to know more about it. I've done some discovering and research when I had spare time by attempting to take apart those cheap lasers you get at like supermarkets and inspecting some of the parts... But I'm having trouble putting it all together! What does it all mean, basically? What does each part do?
Eventually I'd like to be able to build my own lasers, up to about 100-200 mW.
Quick Question: What is the difference between a Laser Diode and its Module?
I know a little bit about what a Diode does for the laser and I know a little bit of where to get some and a little on how to extract them...but like let's say I need to get another and I don't want to buy it online, where can I go and get one from like a broken DVD drive, etc?
It'd be great if some of these questions could be answered! Thanks in Advance!
