Its a 50mW pointer from ledshoppe.com They also have a 50mW violet now for 24$ which ill probly pick up next the same time I put my dvd diode together.

I still have this ole 50mW greenie I bought a while back. its been sitting for a while but I fired it up again and the beam has become much more divergent than it used to be, very thick dot (2 inches at 20 feet) and less visible beam. its a "production" laser, not one I made..i can shake the...

wow 15! You can learn so much by getting into Lasers now.

I think if a laser can destroy a missile it can destroy a human? Maybe im wrong. Ive heard of 30 watt lasers causing severe tissue damage at close range also...so why couldnt a KW laser fuck someone up with a short pulse? Thats more directed energy than whats in a bullett by far...And from my...

Keep In mind our own knowledge of physics is very limited...The whole technological state of starwars universe was thousands of years beyond us... Its possible it may even BE a laser and confined due to some new physical law we have yet to discover or manipulate. Now a Blaster is...

Well..A light saber is obviously Plasma, as it would have all the necessary criteria ^_^. Super hot, Self terminating, Contained via magnetic fields..which could repel other directed energy plasma weapons (Blasters) which are also highly electricaly charged, or more likely just dissipate them...

Like im going to make a new thread to discuss this when it has already been introduced by someone else in the thread?

Im confused. By combining the beams are you intending to multiply its burning power? Wont the beams only "converge" at a certain range though? no matter how you align them? Too close to the target and the beams wont converge anyway...too far and the beams will cross their apex right? Or is...

I see now..I watched a video on building a driver circuit. Apparantly you just star with the pot at max resistance..then turn it until the laser shines..as soon as it shines I guess this is the current its SUPPOSED to be at..So then its good ^_^ Ill try building my ow ndriver circuit now :)

Im a complete noob..so thats not helpful. Are you saying 3.7v is what would normally run a Blu-Ray diode? What im saying is..Id need to find out the rated max power of whatever Diode i use right? So if its a blu ray diode..and it says on the specs its 100mA at say..5V..Id need to check the...

Well I was planning on just getting the Blue Ray laser diode for 49$ The blue ray driver circuit for 8 $ from O-like, and whatever module off E-bay that will fit the Blue Ray diode for 5 $ Then put it together my self. I want to put it in a star-trek phaser and pop balloons with it :) Thatll...

So If I wanted the laser to continue to operate at its RATED power (and not burn it out) Id need to use a driver circuit right? Id like to do this with the Blue Ray diode. Would a 9 v battery be too much power? What would you need to do to put the Blue Ray diode (Or hell even green) into the...

Good stuff. Its a totally different direction in laser technology. No more Diodes, no more Lasing gases and toxic chemicals.

Fuck that. The Free Electron Laser is where its at. Have yall heard about it? Boeing is fronting like hundreds of millions to develop a compact FEL laser for ship deployment. Unlike solid state diode and gas lasers it uses an oscillating free electron beam in magnetic confinement as the...

I apologize. I have bad forum habits. Ill spend some time searching around the board for info.

I thought there was a way to increase the output power? And then you could enhance the heat sinks to deal with the extra load? Theres no way to do it? Theres a reason I spent 25$ on this laser and not 100+ on a laser.

Explain please. So All I do is buy the module..Hook it up to the driver circuit and ill have 120mW?

Aww seriously?? Well what about building my own. O-like has a driver circuit and all I should need is a laser module and a diode right? Will this driver circuit support 100mW plus? http://www.o-like.com/b2b_cpinfo.asp?id=987

Just ordered my first green laser from http://www.ledshoppe.com/Product/ledp/LP1076.htm Its listed as 50mW I was wondering if there are any steps to increase the power output to 100mW+ while preserving safe/reliable operation?
