I would like to start selling lasers for some college income. Building them is not to challenging since all of the parts needed (host, driver, diode, heatsink, etc.) can be found pre-manufactured.
Before I start "mass producing" lasers I would like to know if there is any way that an individual can reliably waterproof a laser. ALL high end LED flashlights and even the high end lasers that are available are waterproof at least to a few feet, but a homemade laser shouldn't even be used in the rain.
I have seen a couple threads that include adding a glass window, like a flashlight has, over the diode... but that doesn't look professional like many of the medium-high power lasers sold commercially.
How can I, as an individual, waterproof a laser so it can be taken into a larger variety of operating conditions?
