thanks for your help, ill see if i can make a heatsink myself

Ok so i have now successfully mounted my new infrared diode and soldered everything together. Here are a few pictures; This thing burns like crazy, but i do want to learn how to focus the this for further range. any help on focusing will be very helpfull. All i need now is a heatsink for...

sorry for the late reply. These diodes are 9mm, so normal aixiz modules wont work. meredith modules will work but are more expensive and are recommended more. i simply bought the module from ebay and was 9mm. As far as im aware all 1w or above infrared diode in the to3 package are 9mm. cmount...

Hey guys, sorry i havnt been posting for a while. been very busy with exams. But i did manage to start the build with loads of ups and downs lol. -I made 2 drivers, one for a PHR and one for an LPC-815. i didnt use a pot for any as by using abit of physics (resistors in parralel and series)...

here it is http://laserpointerforums.com/f51/my-dilda-broke-need-help-upgrading-47200.html#post652121 i just used the same spring from the old driver, and then streched and bended it to fit properly

hi thanks for the reply. i did manage to fix mine with an LOC and rckstr, i posted some pics in my thread,

Thanks for the help I wont be able to post any updates anytime soon as i am off on a cambridge trip, so will carry on after im back. Thanks

Thanks, i changed the position of the diode. I dont know what you mean about the diagram being setup as the constant votage configuration, but i tried to follow the diagrams on other sites carefully. i visited my local maplin today, and brought several things; -10 LM317's (for future use) - A...

Thanks for the help. After reading about the DDl driver i used circuit wizard to try making a simulation of what i would require; Here is the diagram, i coudnt find an LM317 component in the library so i used a 3 pin terminal. This is where i am confused a little. for a simple red or bluray...

I found this focusing module which is considerably cheaper then the meredith one. 9mm Laser Diode House/Case/With Lens/ Laser Industrial - eBay (item 260545760552 end time Mar-01-10 09:16:35 PST) Just want to make sure if this will work with a 9mm 808nm diode. Is there a cheaper one i could...

Great, Put me on the list!. Just need to find out the size difference between a 5.6mm module (aixiz) and a 9mm module

Hey mdjd07 i was looking at your PHR build and saw your great housing. i was wondering whether you are still selling them. I am looking for one for my next build which will be IR

Thanks for the advice. i will resize these pics soon

Its Epoxy

So to conclude this project, i really have gained a siginificant power boost from upgrading the driver and diode. the host is really good and because of the good heatsink i can have some really long duty cycles and only after 7-10 minutes does start to warm up I like the dilda focusing head...

Here are the pictures; I had to unscrew the lens abit so that it focused properly. i used teflon tape to make it secure and not wobbly Heres the laser with focusing head off, used teflon tape to stiffen up focusing Here is the lPC-815 diode press fitted in the heatsink Here is the where all...

I got my two diodes today and this time succeeded in putting it all together. 1 off the diodes seems to not be working but the other is fine. it was such a pain press fitting it in the dilda heatsink, but managed to do it. This thing is burning like crazy, i will post pics soon. i have black...

Thanks for the info, i will need to do some more research in to building a green dpss. but in the meantime i still need advice as to what parts i should get, and if the info i have posted in my first post is correct. i am particularly interested to know if that maplin driver i found will work...

lol thnx, How would i go about building a green one?, Would i just buy the crystals and place them infront of the ir diode?. i have seen some people just hold them infront for demonstration which i could do easily. but mounting it in could be difficult. could i have a sort of add on assembly...

Im planning on building a 1w 808nm lab style laser for a college technology award scheme. (i have to produce a logg on building and a detailed write up after im finished.) im going to take pictures and videos of my progress which i could post here aswell as in my project logg. The award scheme...
