12mm x 54mm Green laser module

Does anyone know if you can get a green laser module,
Dimensions: 12mm W x 54mm L
above 100mw mark?

Looking for a true 200mw

0-Like do a 200mw Dimensions:12mm W x 62.5 L mm

But im unsure wether the barrel can be trimmed down as much as 8.5mm
Anyone?

I think this was the 2000th thread in green lasers.

you can trim off close to 8mm if the 200mw modules are built the same as the 80-100mw modules..

i think its possible, as well. if you replace the "outer" lens, you can gain more than 10mm!
you can file one, two mm away from the back too.
if you need exact numbers let me know, have some "5mw" o-like modules here.

oh, and welcome to the forum, enjoy your stay!

The new DX 200mw module! Perhaps not True 200 (but from what I have been reading, neither is the O-Like ), but definitely meets your description above!

Hemlock_Mike managed to get his to meter 160mw of green.

And length is actually a bit shorter than your requirements! :yh:

For o-like style modules, it depend from the position of the front lens holder.

All the external tubes are the same, but the position of the lens holder change in accord with the inside optic.

Just as example, in their 5mW and 130/150mw modules, this tube can be filed only for approximatively 4mm, in the 50mW ones it can be filed away for at least 10mm, i don't know the 170/200mw rated ones, cause i don't have one at hand (yet ) ..... anyway, basically, you can file away all the "unused" part of the threaded tube in front of the module (also if is better that you left at least half millimeter, just for protection)

Is different for other types of modules, where you have the front lens right at the end of the tube, for them you can't file away nothing.

Anyway, maximum attention and care, doing this, for not scratch the lens, also if is in glass, is not indestructible (using wheel grinders or similar, can be damaged, and also the excess of heath produced from these machines can cause damage) ..... a solution can be:

Measure the space (inside) that you can file away.
Cut with a little hand-saw this space minus 2 or 3 millimeters.
Refine it working with hand tools (and care ).
