Hello I'm new to this forum, well this is my first post but I've read a lot on here. I'm very new to lasers in general as well as it was only Awhile ago I became interested in lasers. My first laser (and only laser as of now) is a 445nm 2W m140 laser diode with an X-drive and g-2 Lens I bought from DTR. I use a variable power supply that goes 0-18V and 0-3A which is perfect since the laser said it uses 6-8V 2A Max. When I turn it on and start increasesing voltage and amp it gets up to 5.6-6.5V at around 1.6A however when I turn voltage up the amps have gone down to 1.03 with 9.8V.. I don't know why this happens when I increase voltage I thought they go up simultaneously? Thanks!
