EDIT EDIT:
Currently I'm too busy with school to do this,
At some point in the future I will start selling LPM's
NEW OFFER:
Anyone who buys this kit from me can mail me there finished LPM un-calibrated,
and I will calibrate it with a 1.5W 445nm blue laser at 25c against my ophir head
Free of charge, Simply include return postage***
Price is $40 for the kit + Shipping
--------------------------------------
These are intended for people looking to build a DIY LPM,
The Kit handles the Electronics aspect,
and leaves the Optics to you.
What IS included:
What is needed:
The battery shouldn't be too hard to figure out for most people who have made a laser.
The boosting psu in these is quite flexable and will run on anywhere from 3V to 9V.
A single Lithium-ion works fine
-----------------------------------
As for the TEC I have a few posible recomendations,
1) Buy a tec, Buy a heatsink, Thermal Epoxy them together.
Coat the Tec w/ either flat black spray paint, or flat black grill paint.
Calibrate against an LPM or a known stable Laser
OR
2) Buy a used head on ebay like this:
++ SCIENTECH MODEL # 380101 LASER POWER METER HEAD | eBay
attach it to your LPM and calibrate it against an LPM or a known laser.
------------------------
The max power of your LPM will be dependent or your choice of TEC and coating,
But the Circuitry in this LPM can go up to 5W's
When selecting a tec Generaly speaking

What IS included:
- Basic Black Box (You could make it look a lot nicer if you put it in one of these enclosures)
And they have free samples
- 4 Digit Red LED Screen
- 1X - 10X ranging function
- Boosting PSU
- zeroing circuitry
- USB power cable. (No Datalogging, this is power only)
What is needed:
- Tec/Heatsink w/ coating, and Calibration.
- Battery and Charging circuitry (If you want it to be portable)

When selecting a tec Generaly speaking
- The smaller the TEC, the faster you will get a reading
- The higher the QcMax, The more likely your LPM will be accurate over a greater range.
