I want to make a red laser
and I want to ask
these materials is good

300-400mW brand new red laser diode/extracted from LPC-826 [OL-LPC-826] - $9.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce
200mW red laser diode driver / constant current /current adjusta [OLRDB-200] - $3.89 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce
9mm diode housing with glass lens for red laser or 808 nm laser [OL9mm] - $7.20 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

No,

Your diode housing is for a 9mm diode. You need a housing for 5.6mm diode.

Like this:
dia 12mm housing /5.6mm diode houisng with lens /10 pack [OL1230H] - $20.00 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

You also need components to make a driver. Do you have those?

I've done many builds with the 826, it's a really great diode. Just be careful soldering! I used that driver or my absolute first build ever, if I remember correctly my 815 handled it at maximum no problem, so the 826 will handle it just fine

Best of luck!!

Wouldn't this driver run that diode better?

2 pack Red laser/808nm laser diode driver 80-500mA w/TTL [OLDD20] - $5.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

That driver is recommended at 400-500 mA, but the original driver only goes to 350. This one can put out up to that 500mA mark.

Of course, now I'm looking at picking up this set, too...

lens with frame is good

780nm,808nm,980nm collimation lens with frame [OL-808LENS] - $12.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

this driver diode
2 pack Red laser/808nm laser diode driver 80-500mA w/TTL [OLDD20] - $5.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce
wants some arrangement

so if i bought this driver with the ttl input, i could adjust the current going to the diode externally? what else is required? the knob, potentiometer? TIA

I really have no idea. I was just speaking in terms of available current settings for these drivers.
