I just purchased a 1 watt 445nm projector diode and an aixiz laser housing with glass lens, i assembled it and hooked it to a .5amp 5 volt usb charger, and the results were impressive! well impressive for me, this is the first time i had a laser this powerful, it should be at around half watt+ output input voltage was measured at 3.97 volts and current at .57 amps, here are some pictures:
The last picture is without the lens, i noticed the dark smudge when focusing it and i dont think it was there when i recieved the diode, has anyone seen anything similar? is my diode damaged? i never let the diode get too hot, and the current and voltage measured during operation: 0.57 amps and 3.97 volts
