    WTB: 405nm or 445nm high power LDs (1.5w+) and lenses

    Looking for blue LDs and lenses for a cnc build. I really need one, but could get 2-3 LD's just in case I fubar on my controller. (They will be run by a TTL modulated regulator so I have to get that right or they will pop, thus good to have more than one hehe.) Shipping would be to Norway and I...

    Dual-wavelength LD's - Can you run em together?

    Can one run both LD's in a dual-wavelength can in paralell for more burning power in a laser-engraver? I am thinking mostly of the IR/RED combos you find in some DVD-burners. Strapping one to my cnc I find it cuts the plastic sheets I need almost perfectly, but a tiny bit more power would be...

    Formula for LD power output

    I've seen several claims that it's not possible to estimate the power outputs of LDs but I am starting to think it may be possible. If nothing else atleast we can ballpark it. CW: 120 mW Rohm RLD2WMGU1 (660nm): 0.9 mW/mA, threshold 55mA Rohm RLD2WMGU1 (780nm): 0.85 mW/mA, threshold 55mA PO: 1...

    Anyone have any data for AD-7170S LDs?

    I have a Sony NEC Optiarc Inc AD-7170S 18/16X drive here that somehow fails to burn CD's. It's going under the knife. I already know it uses 5.6mm cans but am wondering if anyone has any data on the diode? I hope it will beat my current 20x monster-diode that apparantly sucks. (Chokes a bit...

    Laser for hobby CNC-use?

    Hi guys. I wasn't sure which subforum to post this in, but I guess here is best as it's modding and experimental. Although I ponder about red lasers now it wouldn't really belong in the red forum if someone suggests other colors so here goes... I am after advice and guidance relating to lasers...
