I'm planning to build it in an stainless steel "sanwu pocket" style host with a 12mm axis module and want to overdrive it to 250mw instead of its 185mw raiting ,my question is , do these diodes run hot? I would assume not since is an single mode
Same question for the 405nm bdr-206 ,I will run...
I want to build a blue 1.6W 445nm laser(OSRAM PLTB450B) with a boost driver .
I have some high discharge li-ion witch puts out 20A(samsung 25r) will this fry/kill everything?
Went on ebay and found a bdr-209 405nm diode with heatsink and housing.
The diode max current is 500mA , but the driver has a potentiometer that goes from 0-800mA ,is this a big problem? Can I leave the potentiometer in the middle setting?
I looked on sanwu lasers at the new rangers series and can't decide witch one to by(the green option is 60 dollars more expensive),all I know is that the 405nm has a far more better divergence than the green one(I think that they are using an dpss diode) but the green one is far more vizible to...
