Hello.
I was wondering just how reliable are the A-140 diodes when they are pushed to around 2W?
or are the results of this inaccurate? depending really diode to diode?
I tried already pushing an A-140 to around 2W, it seems to survive the experience, but Ive not run it longer then 3-4 seconds, afraid to damage it, now the same diode is running around a watt, and no degradation.
reason I am asking this, is because im building a dual 445nM laser (2 separate beams), originally planning to run 1.2W-1.5W, I was wondering on the possibility of 2W per diode, but this will be pointless to do if they are not going to last long.
Thanks.
