Hey people

Where is the cheapest place to buy a green laser diode(either 150mw or 200mw), Aixiz module(any cheaper ones than $8?) and a micro driver?(couldn't find a cheap one on ebay that is not part of a whole module) The cheapest whole module/driver/diode i found was $54 at 150mw. I was thinking i can make one for less than that (is that true)?. :thanks:! :D

Green laser diodes don't exist outside laboratories yet, what we have instead are DPSS modules, pumped by an IR-diode.

No it's not. Lining up those crystals is not for faint-hearted.
