    Where can I get ND:YVO4 and KTP crystals to convert 808 to 535

    Hey guys, I really know nothing about these 2 crystals or how they work. All I know is that they can turn an 808nm beam to 535nm which is what I need for a product I am designing. I am wondering if anyone knows of any sources where I would be able to obtain these crystals in bulk and possibly...

    help with making a test load

    so just hook up the ammeter between the first diode and +ve and turn the dial on the driver until I get 2.3a on the ammeter? because i dont have any 1ohm diodes. I have a pot but the lowest resistance I can set it to is 4ohms

    help with making a test load

    Hey guys. I feel like an idiot for posting this because i'm sure it has been posted a million times. I can't seem to find instructions on how to make a testload for my driver. I have a 9mm 445nm diode and the blitzbuck v3.1 driver. The driver is adjustable and I want to set it to 2.3a please...

    help driving this IR led

    Hey guys, I am hoping to use this LED to make a really powerful IR remote. So I need to power it with 1.7v @ 2a. Does anyone know of a good driver to accomplish this? Also, I will be using a PICAXE microprocessor to control it. I am wondering if I should have the transistor pulsing the led on...

    Making A super long range IR remote with IR laser diode

    do you have a suggestion as to how I should power it? How many ma and v should I power it with? Also, wondering how I should arrange the circuit with the driver and microprossessor. Should I just put a transistor in series with laser diode to turn it on and off the output of the driver? or...

    Making A super long range IR remote with IR laser diode

    I was thinking of not even using the lens. I might have confused you with the title "long range". I simply want to use a laser diode without a lense as it is more powerfull than an IR led

    Making A super long range IR remote with IR laser diode

    Hey guys, I am wanting to make a long range remote for my tesla coil. I have tried radio frequency transmitter/receivers but of course the tesla coil interfiers with them so while I would be able to turn the coil on, it wouldnt turn off... So I guess my only other option is IR. I have made an...

    do laser diodes loose efficiency after a while?

    hi, i made a typical M140 445nm 2w handheld laser powered by a mohgasm 1.8a driver. for some reason the burning power of the laser seems to be weakening. I know its not the batteries, because I have been using a steady power supply from time to time, and i notice a difference. It could also be...

    help making a cr123a battery charger

    Hey, I need to charge my cr123a batteries any way possible really quickly because i am leaving for vacation soon and want to use my laser. Unfotunatly my old charger fried. I tried making one before but one of the batteries ended up exploding (literally), so ive come to you guys first this...

    Battery help?

    Hey, I dont know much about batteries, so i need some help. I have a laser housing which can hold two cr123a batteries (or the lr123a batteries that im using). Unfortunately they only supply a max of 4v (8v together) and i need atleast 9v for my laser to run at 100%. Are there any other...

    FS: Mohgasm Linear Drivers

    when do you think you'll stop selling assembled drivers? I think i'll need like 20 or something soon, but I'm not 100% sure and i need a week or two to find out. It would be alot better if they were assembled.

    FS: Mohgasm Linear Drivers

    i better order a crap load of them then, I plan on making a whole bunch of lasers and selling them over the summer

    what class is my laser?

    I made a 2w 445nm laser... what class is it? i need a really fancy, but accurate name for my laser. i think its class 4 laser.. so something like "high intensity class 4 laser" thanks :)

    FS: Mohgasm Linear Drivers

    a very strange thing happened today. Moh, my batteries finally came, and that was the reason i wasnt getting full power. The driver heated up alot like expected. But then, after about 10 seconds after i would turn it on each time, the laser would flash like a strobe light. Maybe 5 flashes per...

    unfocussed 445nm diode beam profile needed

    yeah those are what im using. two in series. and the power sucks. it can barely burn stuff and the driver barely gets warm after long use.

    unfocussed 445nm diode beam profile needed

    i bought this diode off of DTR (1.5-2w 445nm) is it broken??? It barely burns anything. powered with the mohgasm 1.8a driver and 2 cr123a's (6v)

    9v battery ok to test my diode?

    nope it was $15 Laser Heat Sink module,fits 445nm 2w diode and more | eBay

    9v battery ok to test my diode?

    results: 2w 445nm laser test - YouTube and it will soon be all cosy in a really cool flashlight :)
