I'm thinking about 445nm laser gun for target shooting. I'd like to have short flash, as strong as possible. I'm thinking about simply feed the diode from charged capacitor. It might also be better idea to use current driver anyway, and to feed the driver from capacitor.
Estimating right capacity seems to be a bit complicated.
Also they might be unknown risks to it.
Also I want to push it a bit harder then usual, as it is only for pulse. But then again, if diode can run at 1W for second, does it mean it will handle 2W for 0.5 second ? Will it break by power, or by voltage ?
Anybody tried anything like that ?
