I'm planning on disassembling a o-like 150mw green laser module and reassembling it (lenses, crystals, etc.) in a different package than the native 12mm tube.
Is there anything I should be aware of? I'mm be recording the distances of every components with a nice pair of digital calipers so I should be able to maintain the focus pretty easily. Do I need to maintain the orientation of the crystal along the beam's axis? Like could it be rotated along the beams axis without messing anything up?
I don't have to module yet, but I noticed when I disassembled an old broken green module that it had some sort of beam splitter going to what looked like a photo-(brainfart-- receiver thingee... Its late) and that was wired into the controller board. What was that?
Sorry, but my understanding if green lasers is limited to their basic operating theory:thinking:
Thanks for any help!
