This is really coll thank you.+ rep. Could you tel me what are the hosts used for the blue and red laser please? thanks.

A green LD's forward vltage is 1.9V? Wow that's really small. Thank you for the info, and no I have never had a green laser :)

Wow, this build looks really nice. I might buy one for my red laser. Are you sure that it's for green only? Because it is in the Green kits and Laser hosts section plus it doesn't say "for green" in the description. Is the driver on your o-like module a boost driver? Because one battery...

Making a custom pattern would be really difficult since it would have to be extremely small to match the diode head. Plus you would be loosing a lot of light. What you need is a special lens or optic. I am not very knowledgeable on optics but i know for exemple that if you point a laser through...

Hi, there are some very usefull threads on the forum: Here's a general info thread about lasers: Looking to build a laser? Read me! The parts you need to make a laser are basically: -a diode -a driver -a host -batteries -a focusable housing for the laser(aixiz...) For the diode, go check...

Yes I'm gonna make some and ppst them tonight. One thing that's bothering me is that both the lens and the diode glass are dirty so the focal point is of "lower quality", there is some unwanted light around it and i don't have the required equipement to clean them. EDIT: In a Dark room(without...

Hi, everyone, I'm making this new thread to show you my new and first laser. I've never had a high power laser before and this is my first build. I used a GGW H20L 6x blu ray diode, a microboost driver and a 405-G-1 lens. All this is fit in an Odicforce host, wich I had to modify. The host was...

Hi Nolan, I'm french too, I live around Paris. Bienvenue sur le forum. ;)

Hi, Does anyone know how to contact DrLava? I paid for the driver with paypal a few days ago and never got any update since that day. Thanks.

Yes I know it's to protect the laser diode from reverse polarity but I heard on the internet that shottky and zener diodes could be used for this purpose(not laser related). So I wanted to be sure. Also I have some 1N4001 diodes but I couldn't find them in a smd version whereas shottky and zener...

Can the diode be replaced by any shottky, zener or 1N400x diode of any type?

I scored 147 at a real test made by a psycholog(spelling?).

Yes I have those types of plugs and my iron has a 3 prong plug, then it should be esd protected.

Thanks to both. Photonaholic, I know how to solder and I have soldered for many projects but I'm new to lasers and I know that laser diodes are extra sensitive to heat. That's why I'm uncomfortable with it, and wanna know how to be as brief as possible. Plus I will be using a blu ray diode and I...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to know what is the fastest way to solder a laser diode to a driver because i'm really afraid of killing the diode because of overheating? Like what to tin first ect... I've searched on the forum already by the way, but really couldn't find what i need. BTW, not...
