Just wondering if youve attemped this yet, thinking of giving it a go myself. i'd love to see pictures of the process :)

he he well my good sir i shall be expecting a corresponding video in the future, also mind grabbing a DShKM, that beasty might make a good test bench for future diode stress testing :D

I thought he meant the laser, who cares about the recoil their boss will have to deal with :P :wave: :gun: :wave: :gun: :wave: :gun:

Thank you for the input, I've managed to get these apart before without visible damage to optics, i did kinda think that i would need to beef up the power supply, what i thought i'd do is put a 300mw 808nm in place of the exsisting diode and if required turn this into a lab style laser using a...

Hello, So i'm yet another australian who's at risk of being anal probed by customs and i've toiled with this idea for some time now. To my understanding 532nm lasers use a 808nm Diode and a series of crystals to lase. What i'm planning to do is buy a 1mW pen locally(532nm) and then order a...

cant seem to find any of those, although looking on the web i've seen alot of Drivers for LED's and such that regulate some part of the current using Transistors and zener diodes. could i possibly make a circuit from these ? i have 100 of these zener diodes and quite a few Transistors. just...

Any idea's on alternate Circuits / Components that i might be able to make from scavenged parts? (mostly full computers) i have all the resistors and capacitors i need but i just cant find those regulators!

I'm wondering if anyone can help me out here, i've been going through my spare bits and i keep seeing a RT9163 SMD in alot of my CD/DVD drives. My LM317's have been in the post for about a month now and im looking for some alternatives for low power laser drivers (no more than 250mA at most)...

Well i know you said you were looking to buy one, but have you thought of making one? With $50 you could easily pull together some nice modules and a driver with plenty to spare, then you could either buy the diode or just lookout for some old DVD-Burners, 16x and above Easily Light matches...

Thanks for the welcome :) i've got a pair of Laser goggles(650nm) coming in about a week, as for the housing, it was just one scavenged from a broken 20mw 532nm Pen but it works and fits well so i'm happy. anyway after making this i'm on the lookout for wherever i can get my hands on free...

Well i thought the best way to introduce myself might as well be a post about a self made laser, seen as thats how i stumbled across this forum whilst looking for answers about the might laser diode. Parts: 16x Pioneer DVD-RW LD (Red) LM317 Circuit (100 ohm Pot etc.) The DVD Drive shell Old...
