Id say this is the #1 strangest diode beam I've seen.
Does anyone have any ideas on what the deal is with this diode?
The diode appears clean and undamaged and there is no dust or debris on the diode or lense.
The driver was set to 1.2A and the laser LPM's at 1,050mW. The main beam is obviously the stronger one, but if I had to guess I would say the secondary beam would probably be around 300mW or so.
This picture is of the beam pattern hitting a wall about 3 feet away, without the lense.
This one is with the lense on and focused for a distance of about 25 feet. Notice the second beam triangulating away from the first?
Here's another shot facing toward the laser
Finally, in this one you can clearly see a second dot, which is diverged approximately 3 inches off from the main dot at about 25 feet.
Anyone have any thoughts at all? :huh:
