I am looking for a replacement lense to make my "flat beam" laser nice and small. Right now it has a 14mm beam on it... the dioed that I have is in the picture, it is the top left one.. ya as you can tell I have no idea what it is really called... :-?

the top left is actually a transistor package (can't think of the name right now) but any standard collimation lenses will work - high powered IR diodes (which i am assuming yours is) have bad beam quality so that flat beam is pretty much a fact of life

I dont know if it makes a differance but it isn't an IR wavelength, it is 532mn. It came out of a Chauvet laser scanner.
I will be looking for collimation lense right now, THANKS!

Huh?? Those look, from the pictures, like laser diode pump modules to me. I'm probably wrong, but there isn't room in there for a crystal stack to produce 532 nM.

That's a TO-3 laser diode.

But how can the wavelength of that laser be 532nm? Are you sure what you took out was a laser?

Click to expand...

there are direct injected 532 nm laser diodes
but i kinda doubt u would find one in there since dpss is stil a lot cheaper

I'm 100% sure, i directally took it out of a Chauvet Scorpion RG55. On the "Flat beam" optics part it reads... <300 mw , 532nm.. When i connect it to another power bord from another Unit. THe magical grees beam shoots out  . Im just trying to find another lense configuration so Can get rid of the 14mm beam width... I want a nice thin beam... lIke 3mm...
p.s. - Wen i get off work today I will post pics...

Thats strange , also unusual. btw the top left diode isnt a C-mount its the TO3 type, the one at the bottom is a c-Mount diode.

Will wait for pictures anyway.

Sorry that I can't see what you are trying to show. Looks sorta like the surface of Mars
