Hi everybody, first post!!!!!
I've read around the forums for a couple months now and finally joined. Any way, Im planning on building a 12x blu ray laser but I've got a few questions before I get started.
A. What is a good current for these diodes? It seems like they can safely handle 400-430 ma but im not sure what to set it at.
B. Is this diode a 3.6, 3.8, or 5.6 mm diode?
C. Will this give me > 500mw?
D. Just one final thing, does this build sound good, please notify me if their are any errors. Dorcy Jr. Host, RCR-123 3.7 V battery, Flexdrive set to ??? ma, BDR-205 diode, Olike screw in diode mounting, 405-G1 lense, small custom heatsink holding housing to host-3.5 mm thick just keeps housing snug. Any help is appreciated!!!!!
