The laser has been sold! (Sorry LaserCo).

I couldn't tell you much about the beam specs. It's kinda hard to measure beam specs of an invisible laser ;). Perhaps I could find you a datasheet. Though this is a gas laser and well, from my experience, gas lasers have very very good beam specs. This laser should focus really well, perhaps...

Bumping it again :)

You left out the most important detail! Whats your budget?

First contact will absolutely work on a diode window. I tested it myself. It can even be used on the facets of open can diodes or C-mount diodes. And yes you used the term correctly :)

^ I thought the same thing. Its immature in my opinion.

Hey man, I know exactly how you feel. Going through the same stuff right now :(. If I had any other means to get a thermal camera, I wouldn't be selling this because once its gone, I'm likely to never get another chance to get another. Good luck with your troubles and I wish you the best.

Would consider trading this for a thermal camera if anyone has one they would be interested in letting go. That's what I'll be investing into anyway when this goes.

Bumping for today.

Have you tried directly bypassing the tailcap? Ive had a lot of issues with lasers that draw high currents. It tutned out being the tailcap in most situations.

Try asking the seller. I don't think anyone here could tell you "exactly" what you're buying unless you have a datasheet.

The most awesome thing I can think of doing with this laser (what I was going to do but never did) is use a pack of LiPo cells and a voltage regulator. This will make the laser portable. All you'd need to do is figure out a way to keep it all together and make it pretty. Would make for a really...

Bumping this awesome laser!

Not necessarily. This laser isn't really being abused. As long as you run a laser at its recommend specs, it should run for thousands of hours.

^haha I'm curious to find out! Its nice to see that those red modules are pretty robust. I wouldn't have thought they'd make it past 5k hours but we're almost double that! Amazing!

Don't get me wrong. They are perfectly good laser diodes! They may even be high powered red diodes but due to their odd shape I think they would not be worth the effort to make into a laser as there aren't any readily available modules to stick these in.

They look like square package diodes. While they could be used to make a laser, due to their odd shape you'd likely have trouble making a module to hold them. I also don't think many people (if any) could tell you what their pinout is. You'd likely have to figure that out yourself.

^ Thats what voltage regulators are for ;)

I have an Evo. It was given to me as a gift from a good friend. It meters at 130mW peak with fully charged cells.

A simple stepdown transformer will not work since they output AC. If you wanted to use a simple stepdown transformer you "could" but you'd have to rectify it and smooth it out with some capacitors along with making sure you remain within that 28-32v range. This is something I would recommend...
