Hi to every one! I'm new in this forum, I'm an 19yo italian laser fun
Ok i'm italian so my English is not very good :) :)
I was looking for a mid power IR laser diode (about 500mw)
to do some engraving on wood and obviously some burning :)
I found this...
Hi i've a 150mW blue(405nm) laser diode...
I've already done a 150mA power supplier, but I want to
make another one that is variable from 10mA to 500mA...
1. Can i do it usin the LM317 and using a trimmer?
2. Does the diode work at a lower level of power (like 80mA)
thank :)
Hi!!
I'm Davide...
So, I've a littel questio :)
I want built a little argon ion laser and I want know if I can use Copper
to make the tube of the laser...
thank you bey :)
oh ... I've extracted my first diode laser from a dvd burner and I made the power supply...
and this is the results ...
I decided to begin with this!!! XD
Bey!!
tanks!!! I'll read links. I've just read about sam's lasers. Mine was only an idea...
I think that I'll read more about different tipes of lasers and their construction
and operating supply.
Hi!!!!
Hi I'm Davide ... I'm italian and I don't write english very well XD
...
So.
To start a laser you have to excitate atoms with High Voltage ... correct?
so can I use an HV inductor and apply a low voltage (for example 20V)
to the elettrods?
like this
thanks ...
