1000 mw Burning Diode Need Help!

[photonaholic]

Also where can i get a really power green burning diode? and plans for power source? nI hear you can actually see the beam on the green ones.

The green lasers we are all used to here do not have a "green diode"

They use a powerful Infrared diode to pump a solid state crystal that doubles the frequency to produce green.

One of my green lasers easily cutting a plastic cup.

two greens from 50 feet away, no smoke or fog.

destroying a chunk of dry ice....

I have that diagram and I have read all the info everyone has sent me its instering stuff. But i guess iam not understanding where the heatsink actually goes. Deas it go around the diode itself or does it go into the regulator?

You need to get a Housing Module for your Laser Diode like Billg519 linked
to above (or similar or have one made)...
This will act as a heatsink for the Laser Diode..

You will also need to HeatSink the LM317 TO-220 Driver to keep it cool..

If you want to but Green Laser Modules... you can have a look at O-Like
and RayFoss...

You can ACTUALLY see the beam for any visible colored laser its just how clear it is. You can probably see a 1W red laser's beam and it would be as powerful as a 300mW green because your eye is more sensitive to green. Buy a module from O-like. Get a 50mW module because its cheap and the output power is pretty strong

In this case, you will want a heat sink for the LM317 and the diode.

Whats the formula for that diagram? like a formula for the variable resistor at how many ohms will it be how much current. something like that?

Would this work for a diode heatsink? 9mm diode housing with glass lens for red laser or 808nm laser [OL9MM] - $8.99 : O-Like, Quality Products, Great Prices

 

[Darkknight23]

which green lasers on the o-like website can be a burning laser?

 

[laserboystuart]

75mW for decent burning, but 50mW can burn a little

the 50mW can sorta burn black plastic but you have to hold it very still and it will melt it a little. If you get a 100mW one, it will start to smoke. If you get a 200mW, then it can cut electrical tape in around 30 seconds

Yup that would be perfect for your 808nm diode but i would recommend aixiz because its smaller and it has a back screw thing so you can put the driver in

 

[billg519]

The formula for the LM317 resistor is 1.25/desired_current. For 420 mA, R = 1.25/0.420 = 2.976 ohms. A 3 ohm would do, or 3 x 1 ohm in series.

What is the most powerful green laser diode? I dont like to do anything small I go all out.

 

[Darkknight23]

Would that diode housing i found work as a heatsink?

 

[Darkknight23]

Where is aixiz or what is it?

 

[Darkknight23]

Could you provide a schematic for this, sorry I can just see it better on paper. thank you

You should learn to edit your posts instead of posting ontop of yourself.....

Diode? Not even an option for you. You want DPSS, and one of the "best" ~200mw green modules will probably come from 0-like or such.

Nope, Your heatsink would go over that.

Where is aixiz or what is it?

Ya sorry about the editing thing iam kinda new at this. thoes pictures of the diode housing for sale there 12mm x 30mm would my 808nm or i think it 9mm diode fit into those? I guess there adjustable?
