    Best lens setup for smallest most perfect focus dot possible at around 300mm distance

    Hi, I am busy designing a few prototypes of 3d printers based on laser stereolithography. I have experience with setting up a 445nm 0.7W laser for cnc engraving, but this time the purpose is to be able to focus a 405nm (445nm is multipoint so unusable) to as small as possible dot as possible...

    12X S06J 405nm Diodes $54 Shipped US

    I think DTR is meaning 405nm diode @ <500mA 455nm can go lot higher

    What amount of mW do you expect aproximatly from a 405nm diode with G2 lens @ 420mA ?

    looking for: 405nm laser for burning very very smal spots at +- 1meter (3 to 4 foot)

    To get a good focus I'm going to set the flens on a stepper motor with extreme reduction. This would allow me to focus 1 full turn of the lens in maybe 3200 steps, so I guess that would suffice :) The laser seems capable so now need to find info about the driver. These p3 flexmods could be the...

    looking for: 405nm laser for burning very very smal spots at +- 1meter (3 to 4 foot)

    ok thank you for your answer. The question is however not completely solved (or at least I am not 100% sure yet :) With my current 445nm laser at aprox 700mW I can focus on a spot less then 1 inch away from my module and I can burn spots of 0.2mm size in wood or paper (laser is therefore only...

    12X S06J 405nm Diodes $54 Shipped US

    I'm interested in a 405nm inside module + 405-G-2 Glas lens. Just few questions 1) What power do you think will come out when you provide aprox 450mA to it? 2) Can these be focussed to have a very !VERY! small burning point at aproximately 3 or 4 foot distance? (I certainly cannot with my...

    looking for: 405nm laser for burning very very smal spots at +- 1meter (3 to 4 foot)

    Hi, First of all I'm not a newbie to lasers, since I work with them for about 3 years now. In the beginning I worked with fibre-coupled 808nm diodes of 1 watt, but I stopped those because I prefer to SEE something instead of visible IR. Currently I use a 700mW 445nm blue laser on my portal...

    Beam combiners for 445nm ?

    Hi and thanks for reply. So if I understand right, when using such a PBS, I would have to set both modules to focus on infinity (so a parallel beam like real lasers should be according to most people) and then they pass through the PBS, but now there is something I don't understand. Since the...

    Beam combiners for 445nm ?

    Hi, 1) Does anyone know where I could find beam combiner (those glass-like cubes) to combine 2 445nm beams into one? 2) Also, since the 2 beams come from a module, the modules focus on their lenses, but should I then mount another lens behind the beam combiner to create the focal point again...
