Hi! I was looking at different laser modules and saw that one on odicforce lasers says that it's driver type is ACC boost. I know ACC is Automatic Current Control but has anyone heard of ACC boost before and know if it's any better than normal ACC? Sorry I'm not allowed post the link to the...

Thanks everyone for the responses and links they were really helpful. The only 405nm TO38 3.8mm laser diode I could find were from Thor labs and were like €80 so your suggestions were really helpful. Yeah I presume they're just not available in the other form due to degradation in air. Thanks...

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm a bit confused though, I thought laser diodes in the 405nm range were usually made out of AlGalnN Quantum well on a GaN substrate? Are you saying this would degrade in air or what is the die that you mentioned? Honestly I just want the smallest possible case for...

Hi apologies if this has an obvious answer but I'm building a device and need the smallest form possible of a 405nm laser diode. Unfortunately the smallest version of it that I can find is in the form of a 5.6mm TO-can. I know you can buy larger wavelength lasers on a c-mount/f-mount however I...
