I have just received an order from odic lasers containing 1 m140 blue and 1 635@300mw mitsu. And 2 FET/lm358 drivers.
The drivers have 1.5v dropout. The idea is feed them with a 12v supply. I have the dummy load, all the wired pads but Im stuck in the doubth... do I have to supply just 1.5v above the diodes operating oltage, or the driver will reduce the voltage too?
This is my first high power buildings, the first time Im going to see the 450 and 638 coherent wavelenghts and Im a mix of superexcited to see it, and afraid to fried them... Help that newbie!!
