Well, I just purchased a 1.2w blue laser off a member of the site.
But I'm told a green laser beam is the easiest to see, and I had a 20mW green one a few months back, i could see it at night, but it wasn't amazing.
I figured I'd ask the community what would be best for me.
I want a high powered green laser, but I want to build it myself. I know I can google a host and diode, but I will get ripped off or buy some piece of shit.
So what I'm asking is, what diode and driver would I want if I want a super bright green beam during the day (if possible)? Also, what host would be the best (most durable)?
EDIT: I will be purchasing the safety glasses for the 532nm wave, when I purchase the diode.
Thank you,
