Okay so I have created a Daedel driver circuit for my laser diode which s currently an 808nM 300mW IR diode. Now before i tested my diode i tried some LEDs in its place. I connected 2 1.5v LEDs in series, thus drawing 3v the same as what my laser diode needs. Now the LEDs work absolutely fine. As soon as I connect my laser diode, which i have purchase 3 of incase they were defective, nothing happens. Nothing even emits from the diode.
I am so frustrated. Why is this?
Okay before you say i just cant see it. I used the Infra-red function on my camera to remotely record the results so i didn't fry my eyes. Nothing turned up on the camera so i stuck my hand in front of the diode and nothing what so ever.
Help?
