Oh yeah I know that... My bad. I meant to say, is the diode contact area with the heatsink enough or not.
I tried with 1W supply and it seems to heat up slightly if i run more than 10 seconds so I would ha
ve to pulse it.
Greetings.
I recently purchased cheap 5W NUBM08 laser diode but I can't find the right heatsink for it.
I have this copper heatsink for TO5 laser that fits to the rim of the diode, but makes barely any contact . Would this be enough heatsink for this laser diode?
Thanks!
