I wonder how hard that diode can be pushed. It might make it to 1 watt. I think if I were trying to build a high power 650nm C mount build it would be a much higher power, though.

Maybe, but that 638 nm Oclaro can and at a brighter WL for cheap. How much is that C-mount 650 nm?

I bought my near 1000 mw 638 nm Oclaro pointer already built, don't know what driver was used in it but I bet if you contact DTR he has a driver which will work:

Maybe another member can help with what they have used.

Edit: This page shows the driver he uses with that diode: https://sites.google.com/site/dtrlpf/home/diodes/oclaro-700mw-638nm-diodes

HL63193MG Specs:



Some push to 1000 mw but is rated at 700. I've never had problems with mine at 940 mw out of the lens.

I wonder how much we can abuse this diode for higher than rated output? http://www.ebay.com/itm/USHIO-HL632...de-Single-Beam-High-Power-Laser-/262667453889

If you want 500 mw of 650 on a C-mount, here's one with a price: http://www.ebay.com/itm/650nm-500mW-C-MOUNT-Laser-Diode-/262355495958

650 is OK but 638 nm is very cherry! I'll never buy 650 if I can get as much or more power at 638 nm.

yes-thank you
