Hello Everyone,
I recently purchased a 200mw laser from chinavasion. It came DOA. I tried to communicate with them, but basically it was a whole lotta nothing done. Eventually I just bit the bullet and decided to try to fix this myself.
I believe that the driver circuit is blown, and I want to try to make a new one. I have already built a drive for a 200mw red diode, so i got the basics down.
My problem is that I do no have any idea how much power the pump diode takes. I tried to search the forums but I could not find a post were some sort of guide was given to this type of problem.
Is there a way for me to find out? Or is there a method of trial and error that will work here?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
