New to laser assemblies in general. So I have a couple questions.....
If a laser is rated for 300mW, is it the diode that is rated to the or is it the "driver" that does that? Also if you could define what the driver is that would be great! I mean I assume its what powers the diode, but a bit...
So I am new to this dyi laser scene, so say I want a 300mW Green Laser(most likely 542nm) and I wanted to build it myself.
1. Where does one go about getting a diode like this?
2. What is needed in order to power this?
3. What is the best type of housing?
Pretty much I am curious in how one...
Okay, so I am new to the idea of building laser and what it takes to do so. I have been a long time enthusiast and have read a lot of things about big laser companies like *cough*WickedLasers*cough* that are not selling what they say they are. I have been longing for a burning, something high in...
