WOW DTR, That was fast! Thank you very much.

I aim to please.

Received my diode today!

Just put together Frankenstein!!! Thanks for all the help!!!

I purchased an M140 diode from DTR for use in my DIY bench top build and I am loving it. DTR shipped it out very fast (thanks) and the packaging kept the diode very well protected. DTR was really helpful with all the questions I had. I pushed the M140 up to 1634mW without any problems and this was using an AIXIZ 3 element AR coated lens, if I had used a 405-G1/G2 instead I would have gotten around 1,960mW

This is a test run I did a few days ago also using a 3 element AIXIZ lens. If I had used a G1/G2 (using a conservative estimate of 20% higher transmittance) I would have been getting better than 1mA/1mW efficiencies.

Heres the graph.

Thanks DTR Ordered my diode on 1/2/2012 got it 1/5/2012. Just need my kit now and I'll be all set.

I received my second M140 diode today and i'm currently waiting for the thermal adhesive to dry. Once it's ready to run I will be doing another efficiency test on it and posting the graph.

PM sent!!

Off topic question to anyone here, but what do you guys use for beam shots as far as smoke is concerned? Sorryto ask here but I didn't want to bother everyone with a new thread nor do I know how to start one.

Post it up.

Replied.


You can use steam, smoke from a cigarette or a smoke machine. I also like to use long exposure shots with no smoke or very little. Works really well.

received my diode today

thanks DTR

Ok so I finally got the chance to do the power testing with my new M140 diode from DTR. Just want to thank DTR for the diode. So this my second M140 diode.


M140 445nm diode mounted in lab heat sink
G2 lens used.

Here's the power graph. My laserbee A power meter only goes up to 2W so thats the highest reading I have. I need to get the LE 5W laserbee. As you can see at 1,500mA I am getting over 2W output!!!!!!




And here is the data in text format

EDIT- Here is the graph from my other M140 diode which appears to be a little less efficient. This was also taken with a G2 lens.




EDIT- Anybody is free to use, reproduce and alter these graphs as they please.

When will the flexdrives be in?

I had some shipped out yesterday that should be here Tuesday or Wednesday if you need one now I think Flaminpyro has some in stock.

Thanks man.

Hi DTR i ordered yesterday a bleu diode whit leads in housing and g2 lens.
Let me kniw when u got the payment.
Name is Knobbe

Yep I saw it. It was an E-Check so it will take a few days to clear. Paypal estimates "Pending Until Jan 23, 2012".

Well ok then
Thanks for conferming it

Cheers mate

No problem. You could tie a credit card to your PP account and payments made from you bank account will process immediately if you have a card. They don't have to be charged to the card it just acts as a secondary source if the bank payment does not go through.

K thanks for the tip. Because i will order once i have showen it to some friends...

Greetings

Hi DTR the money is underway i saw that paypal has taken it already.

Greetings

do i get a message when u send it out DTR?

greetings Knobbe

You sure will with a tracking number. Also you can always log into paypal and see the status. It should show you that paypal has not yet made the payment to me and they estimate it going through on the 23rd.

My M140 diode is not so Amazing




I have to buy new diode for my 1.8A build.

maybe u need at least 7v?
or m i wrong......i self are still learning haha
