I have a few questions for the experts please...
The following pictures are of an inoperative disassembled LaserGlow Aries laser (I bought it this way) . When power was applied to the laser, the diode is just a dim led but the module does get warm as time goes on and everything else with the laser appears to work fine. My guess is that the laser c-mount diode is dead :'(
Here are my questions:
1. Can I remove the epoxy on the cover over the c-mount diode (I believe the cover contains the crystals) and then replace the c-mount diode?
2. This was originally an Aries 50 that produced an average of 67.6 mW's. Can I replace the c-mount with a 1000mW 808nm c-mount diode and get similar results?
3. Do I need a 2000mW 808nm c-mount diode for these results or would I possibly get better results using this higher power diode? The original diode may have already been a 2 Watt diode, I don't know.
4. Would one of this size/shape be the replacement? http://cgi.ebay.com/2000mw-808nm-la...ryZ53141QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
It looks like it would be a simple swap as long as I am able to put the cover back over the diode once replaced... Thanks in advance and if you have any other suggestions please speak up
