I'm a newbie on the "laser self product".. but i want to build my first laser (not a pointer but a "table" laser ), i have one Pentium 4 heatsink with fan, i want to buy one driver and one diode and an aixiz module, but i'm not a PRO on soldering, i've already tried to solder two cables on one 100mW DVD burner diode but.. damm the pins are very short and i'm going to destroy my diodes! So i want to know how long are the LD pins because if they are 0.5/1 cm longer i'm work fine and i don't have problem with solder but if the pins are long like the DVD burner diode (0.2/0.3 cm) it is very difficult for me. (i want to build a 100/500 mW laser and i have the project in my mind) someone can help me please?
