So just wanted to post a few pics of my finished meter.
I got the head a few months ago, a coherent 210, it outputs 1mV/W. It's a bit impractical so, the amplifier changes that signal to 1mV/mW.
Fun exciting black box! I'll add some info on the top later.

Just thought I'd share my version of a test load.
It's kind of a rip off of HIMNL9, with the adjustable jumper; and epoxied up just like flaminpyro's.
(Sorry about the glare on the epoxy there)
It's selectable through 0.7V-8.75V in 0.35V steps by moving the jumper over 1N400x diodes, or...
*sigh*
So, got my first real laser today (I'd played around with 1mW ones before) a 150mW green from Rayfoss in their small waterproof host. (I ordered a 100mW, but they ran out of modules, so Faona offered a 150mW upgrade for free)
