Ahh I've heard the term DPSS laser, so I now get what you guys are saying. As CurtisOliver mentioned, you can get both 532nm diodes & 532nm DPSS modules. The modules are what I've been looking for. Awesome! Thanks to all who replied and for the Fasttech link :thanks:

Hello all, I'm looking for a brief list of what I would need to build my own laser pen. I know I'll need a laser diode & a power source, but the in-between is where I need some assistance. Looking around online I get a variety of different answers, so I want something generic I can follow. I...

Sorry, I didn't look at goggle sites yet so I didn't know how it worked. Thanks for those links!

Thank you both for your input. As for that eye damage, scary thread! I have taken notice of how dangerous lasers can be, and I'll wait on the 1W 445nm. For safety glasses, can I get one pair that protects multiple? Or for each different wavelength I get, will I need a different pair of safety...

Gotcha, I'll have to go for that route then! What about getting a 1W blue 445nm? Any recommendations on a starting point there? I've heard for power ouput, the blue diodes run cheaper than green. Thanks again for the help!

:thanks: I've seen those, they look pretty cool. As for now, I want to stick with the cheaper side of around $10-50. The Sanwu 304 is the most likely one at the moment, since I've heard that eBay 303's aren't always the correct mW they say they are. Seems like it's a journey to truly get the...

Hey guys, Thanks for the input! I'll be sure to check those out and make a purchase sometime soon. As for my introduction, I'll do that once I know a little more about lasers and have a few under my belt :D

Hey all! I'm a noob here, and I purchased my 2nd laser yesterday from laserpointerpro (RIP $10 and I haven't even gotten it yet) :drool: I'm looking to buy 35-50mW 532nm Green Laser pointer, one that is very bright and & easy to see at night. If it's more powerful, that's totally fine. The...
