Hi all, new to the forum as well as lasers. Poking around on youtube sparked my interest a while back and since then I’ve been trying to learn more about DIY laser projects. From what I have seen there is a lot of information about each diode that really dictates the other components I would purchase. I took the disc drive out of an old dell laptop and extracted the diode. Is there a way I’m supposed to be able to identify the diode type and then know what safety glasses I would need or the correct voltage to use or the driver to purchase? Is this information somehow known by the type of sled or the model of the disc drive?
Can’t wait to continue learning about lasers, finally is there any place to find an overview of DIY Laser projects to cut down on future questions? Don’t want to be a burden so questions are plentiful at this point. Thanks!
