it is not exactly that it is UV light that make you not see the laser , it is the glasses
so for example i have 445nm laser (so it is blue) so i have laser glasses that cuts the 445nm color , so i cant see the beam
but i still can see the point just a little through the glasses.
nice find for...
hey Waste , my twin brother from Germany
:)
i have ordered only the 445 nm (from DTRshop).
i don t know yet if i will go for the 405 nm , because the 445 is already quite good for cutting
but i havn t done many test yet , as i really don t have the time right now
i have just focused my laser...
hi HaloBlu
thank you for theses info , as i have now (quickly) tested my first laser , i can see that multi mode laser is already precise enough for cutting (i don t know if it is because of the quality of my lens or if it is just always that precise)
i wont be ordering IR or the right IR...
hi
ok so after a few problems i have been able to start my laser , i haven t done so many test yet , but i did try thin cardboard cut ,
i now understand better about the physicals values of cutting with laser diodes
you have to go slowly with a 1W
and you need the best focus you can get
i...
THANKS GUYS
i ll post more pics , when i get how to make good pictures of something that is filtered out because of your glasses .
it is quite difficult actually
and also i understood i need to have a black background to be able to take pictures of the beam , i thought it would be easy at 1W...
ok thanks you 123splat and Cyparagon ,
i turned the pot down until i had 100mA then plugged the ground (that i soldered just before) and it went all the way up to 700mA ,
Amazing , i ll be able to start my laser tonight !!!!
HUGE THANKS
so everybody confirm that to get 1W (445nm 1W) out i...
no i don t have a test load
(didnt ordered one when buying my driver)
(is there something else in common electronic that could be use as a load , such as a diode extracted from a power supply , a high power led ...)
i will make more tests tomorrow but the gain pot seems not to react the same...
yes i have seen the guide , but i am giving 5v to the "MOD" pin from my microcontroler because the idea is to control the laser from the microcontroler (arduino)
and yes the red led is off the all time i am making the test
i dont think it is the case but i ll have to verify if it is not me...
hi there
it is my first time working with laser , laser drivers etc...
i have a flexMod , so i am trying to set it up for my diode (1000mW 445nm) , so DTR wrote to feed 1A to my diode , but when i turn my gain pot to get 1A , it wont go over 310mA (the screw will but my reading stop growing)
i...
Re: 12X S06J Diodes $54 Shipped US
hi thank for your answer , but then i really don t get it , because my driver is a flexmod and its specs says that it will adapt its voltage to the needs of the load , but then what is the voltage specs of a A140 because if it drives 5V then 1A would set it to...
Re: 12X S06J Diodes $54 Shipped US
Hi DTR , i wanted to start and experiment with my 445nm 1W laser before buying a 12X S06J
for this i need to find the specs of the A140 (to know what intensity i need to set my driver at ,for a 1w output) , do you have these specs , or know where i can find...
Re: 12X S06J Diodes $54 Shipped US
great , i ll take a 12X S06J in module , as for the lens i ll take a simple glass because i already received a G-2 from last order (with a 445nm) , so i ll be able to compare cutting abilities with both wave length and lenses ,
as for the driver flex do you...
yes , i ll check in my power supplies to see what i have for over 6volts and over 1A
the question here is more , what should i set my driver intensity output at ?
is 222mA the good setup?
as for the lens it is ok , now i can compare lenses as i am going to buy a 405nm and a simple glass, and...
i just realized i might have made a mistake when i bought the "405-G-2 Glass Lens W/Focus Ring $45"
isn t it a collimating lens ?
i would more need converging lens , am i right ?
where should i buy one ?
with some info i got from a laser blog (seems that i can t post the name) i could understand that the driver adapt it voltage for the load .
so now to calculate what intensity i need to set my driver at , i need the voltage the diode will drive , if it drives 4.5 volts , then i ll need 222mA to...
Re: 12X S06J Diodes $54 Shipped US
Hi , i am thinking about ordering a 12X S06J in module from your shop ,
does it come with the plastic or glass lens?
the 12X S06J is a 600-700mW 405nm right?
my last order arrived , but i was thinking ordering with cheaper shipping rates (international) , did...
so there is some wavelength diodes that are usually dual mode and some other wavelength diode that are usually single mode, so if you don t know what wave length is usually single and what wavelength is usually dual ;
you need a long read on the datasheet to understand what you are buying
the...
yes thank you mark-in-dallas
i am interested to know as the 405nm is quite well focus-able , how about IR ? is it as well a good wavelength for sharp focus?
as for your 405nm 750mW; what is the max thickness you could cut (and in what material)?
