I am newish to lasers and is certianly the case regarding driving them with circuits ,got limited supply of components ,and needing a restock ,but was wondering if anyone knows of any simple driver circuits using through hole components and some common ic's ,have no voltage regulators...
Im pretty set on getting a 445nm laser,but as i understand it the diodes give off a rectangular beam resulting in a point that can be quite ,well... kind of rectangular dot ,obviously these can be compensated with beam expanders and other optics , but are there other diodes in the blue spectrum...
