    do IR lasers need different focus/lens?

    Hello, is it just me or is focussing a 850nm diode more difficult? None of me lenses i use for my blue lasers really work. I can get a point only on 30 or 40 cm distance maybe. I tried the usual 9mm-stuff, G8 lens, three-element....

    IR vs Blue/Green Laserdiode-drivers?

    i just realized, when looking at my own picture of the driver, it does have 2 small screws/potis. So is that both a CC/CV source? Im really not good with electronics. Im just a paesant that likes laser beams and fire :)... so please help.

    850nm laser diode power supply

    hey, i got the same diode and same question what driver to use. What did you mean when you said u cant use "regular CC regulators"?whats a regular constant current reg for you? A led driver? Or a regular laserdriver? And yourediy driver 4A, how does it differ from regular 4-5Amp laser diode...

    IR vs Blue/Green Laserdiode-drivers?

    hello folks, i thought its time to annoy some of you guys again with tard questions that everybody knows. I love cheap shit from Ali and over the last years i bought a lot of drivers, most dirtcheap, i just wanted to know if they work and how they would behave..so long even the trashiest one...

    Building 532nm dpss laser

    sure, 1 dollar for a 1mw green laser on a keychain XD

    Building 532nm dpss laser

    if making a dpss laser is so difficult, why are they so dirtcheap then? Arent the cheap 5-100mw 532nm lasers all DPSS?

    question about building DPSS laser and killed nailfungus with Laser.

    Hello folks, 1. I healed a fungus in my nail with my 5.5watt blue laser. I had a yellow spot on the nail of my right big Toe, that became bigger week after week. Took me a while to register that this is a fungus, its the first i ever had.. One day i saw that the nail, where it had tha yellow...

    looking for an affordable IR laser.

    you got these decorative garden dwarfs, right? Shouldnt you be out polishing them right now? Its sunday? And use the oppurtunity to measure the neighbours twigs, they might be hanging an inch into your property.

    looking for an affordable IR laser.

    theyre a little over my budget. Maybe i will build one. Found a 1w To9 for 15 dollar on Ali. They also have C-Mount/TO3 up to 5 watt...but ive never seen these in a handheld/modul?

    looking for an affordable IR laser.

    Hello guys, im looking for a christmas present, i know a buddy of me would like an invisible laserbeam, its pretty much the only laser he would really be interested in. I was hoping i would find something prebuild in the range of 30-50eu and i did, there are 2 sellers on ebay.de. Im totally ok...

    light "artefacts" or bad focus with G8 lens?

    like i said, all the other lenses i got are better in this regard. its basically all cheap lenses that came with moduls or prebuild china lasers. Now i got that 18 eu G8 lens and it shows more of this stuff than any other lens.

    light "artefacts" or bad focus with G8 lens?

    its a Nichia 5,5 watt recapped diode, 450nm. So that doesnt automatically prove that the lens is garbage? The lens stays cool....the other ones i have feel almost like the glow, that hot after just a few seconds.

    light "artefacts" or bad focus with G8 lens?

    Hello, excuse that bad foto please, i used a long shuttertime and the pic did get a bit too much light. Its about that blue area, that i encirceld red. Some amount of light seems not to be focused, but its leaving sideways and appearing around the spot. The spot itself is pretty small like you...

    The ABSOLUTE Cheapest Proper Diode driver

    im using a Led-driver for 4eu from Ali, it does 3A...seems pretty reliable so far. It also has very accurate output-control, because you have to screw that wheels like 10-15 times to get from 0 to 3000ma. Cheapest driver i found so far...still have a bunch in my shelf to try.

    cant find a datasheet of my diode?

    hi, i have problems finding the sheet of my diode...id like to know how much ampere i can adjust on the driver. I bought the diode under the name "NICHIA NUBM0E" from ali... https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005003440660852.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2deu&spm=a2g0o.9042311.0.0.27424c4dw1I87d theres no...
