Hi folks,

Bought a "TO-5 808nM 1000mW" laser diode on eBay (no datasheet available) - I was wondering if you could recommend some optics/heatsink combination for this, in TO-5 diameter - like the Aixiz focusing assembly?

many thanks

Thomas

Make sure you have goggles for that one... It is an invisible laser to your eye! you may see a faint red dot but it can make you go blind..

other than that a aixis glass for a red for 5-10$ or a G2 for 45-50$ but remember they are not going to make you be able to see this frequency better. It is a far red laser we as humans cant see this beam without inhancement...
