Got a question for all you folks.
Say you were to purchase a relativity low powered (5mW) 473nm blue pointer for say $400-$500. Is it possible to simply take the pointer apart and replace the IR diode with a much higher powered IR diode and make the appropriate changes (or replacements) to the driver?
Would the crystals pump correctly still or are they tuned in some way to the energy they are intended to convey/convert?
