You are right! I have forgot that it changes the wave in the optic... Thanks anyway!!!

Thanks!!! Another question, On optics if a laser light of one long wave length passes through a lens or a material other then void or air it shortens its wave length... If my laser is 808nm and i run it through a 450nm lens, the wave length will be 625nm, right?

If i have a regular LED all I need to do is connect to it a resistor and a power source... And if i have a laser diode, which is just like a light emitting diode, why do I need a full circuit for a driver? My laser diode works on 2.2V and 1.2A and uses 1.5Watt of power... do i really need a...

Another question... does the laser diode Requires a lens? I have found this host which has a lens and the size of my laser diode(9mm): 808nm Laser Module Host for TO5 9mm Laser Diode w H 3 Elements Glass Lens | eBay Is it ok?

Is the heat sink for the laser diode or the lm317?

What do you think is the recommended host for this one?

It doesn't matter... anything that will fit the whole circuit... size is not an issue.

host?

How can i choose the best heatsink?

Yes... I know how to use the laser safely. I have bought special protective glasses for this exact laser diode... Will this circuit work for me...

Can anyone... please... give me a circuit diagram for the laser... I bought the laser diode and it would be a waist if i wont even try to experiment with it!

Can you please give me a link for the circuit diagram for this laser diode?

It can still burn stuff right?

I have a laser diode: - 1.5 Watt - 808nm - 2.2V - 1.2A I need it to be portable but the size doesn't matter. Is the best way for it to work is to build something or to buy a driver from ebay? i know how to solder and it would be faster and easier. If it is better, can anyone send me a link for...
