Hello HIMNL9 or any other Gurus out there,
I have 2x40w Coherent diode bars from Surplus. I want to run both similtaniousely (at the same time together) from one driver supply if that possible.
I am planning to have these two bars (simultaneously) but transversely pumping a small (28mmx9mmx2.5mm) Nd:YLF slab. I have a switch mode power supply that can deliver 5V at 40Amp (regulated a bit like the computer powersupply).
Can I have these two laser diode bars run on the same driver schematic as from HIMNL9 and ronald1711 (there was a thread in year 2010, but can't find it no more).
If so how do I connect the diodes (can I connect them in parallel or series together).
I will very much appriciate any experts' comments and insight or anything I overlooked.
Thanks.
