Has anyone bought or tested the 1W c-mount red diode from o-like? If so, how epic is it? what are some things you can do with it that are not possible with a regular burning laser? and how visible is the beam?
Peace,
The Sushi Ninja :cool:

I know, i am just trying to find out how much more power a 1W has than a 200mw+ laser has.

a 1w laser is equal to 1000mW - so it's 5x stronger

I'm making a 1W red c-mount laser with a diode from heruursciences. Will definitely post pics and vids when I finish it :p

just be aware that you cant really just pop a c-mount in a laser with an aixiz lens and hope for a good beam. You'll be able to get it to a focal point to burn stuff, but if you want a good beam with good divergence you are going to need a lot of optics. Anamorphic prisms, lenses, all that good stuff.

Making a c-mount laser with an aixiz would take some ingenuity anyway lol might as well go the extra mile :p

i would rather go this route:
http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1234846060
combining two regular singlemode long-open-can diodes with a polarizing cube. with 300-400mw out of each, you get close to one watt. but the beam will be actually collimated, which is, as already said, more or less impossible with multimode diodes (by any reasonable effort) and much thinner too. then energydensity will therefore be much higher, with that the visibility and burningpower raising too. a one watt multimode with a (theoretically) collimated beam of 6mm diameter, or a 600mw beam, singlemode, with 4mm diameter, what would be cooler? lets see. first one: 6mm diameter is 28mm², second one is 12mm². that comes to an energy-density of the 1w laser of 36mw/mm², the "weaker" one with 600mw has a density of 50mw/mm².

so the second one, the "weaker" one has:

-higher powerdensity:
-more burningpower
-higher visibility
-collimated beam
-thinner beam
-less optical elements
-much much less expensive
-less energyconsumption (longer runtime)
-"standard"-parts (aixiz etc)

any more questions? ;-)
