I think its time I learned this basic things.
I own a 1W laser projector, for a year now.
Unlike same power laser pointer, the laser projector has a "laser module" which generates the beam. it's made of two parts, an aluminum box where the beam comes out of and another box connected to it which has a controller board in it.
What are these?
I mean a 1W laser pointer is smaller than my flashlight but this 1W laser module is several cubic centimeters.
What's the difference in the technology that requires the module to be so big if it is the same power?
I guess the board allows to turn on/off and dim the laser which is required for laser animations, but whats in the other box?
