Hi everyone!
I am a complete noob on the area but I am very interested in lasers and after having read about and watched several DIY projects with laser pointers I now intend to do one myself. Now, I got thinking how I would get all the stuff I need. You see, I live in Sweden and there ain't many retailers of laser modules etc. Now, several years ago I picked apart a laser printer and I have saved the laser unit since then. Is there any possibility that I can extract the laser diode from this unit and use it? I have no idea what kind of laser is in this unit but I would like to find out. I would love to hear your opinion.
I cannot link images since I don't have 10 posts yet
