This 2 items are comptible ?

THX for answers!

Yup.:beer:

Edit: Techhood is a good seller, but I have no experience with that driver. Ive never actually seen it before.

Now i have This 1,6W M140 Diode, but with this drive :

445 450nm 0 3 1W Laser Diode Drive | eBay

But i think this performance is not the maximum of this Laser diode with this Drive.

I wannt better performance!

Buy a better driver... The first one you linked would have been fine, it had a pot and could do 1.8 A (the max recommended for the M140's).

The new driver you have just linked says 300 mW - 1 W? Did you have to specify the current? The driver has no pot so Im guessing its set by choosing the correct resistors. If you want a better driver look up lazeerer, Foulmist... etc they all produce excellent drivers designed specifically for sensitive Laser diodes.:beer:

Contact user lazeerer for a great driver. For optimum performance as mentioned above you'll need 1.8a. On a build of mine 1.8a gave me around 1700mw from a m140 . My latest build gives around 1.5mw from 1.25a. The efficiency of the diode also plays a part in performance but that can't be determined until the laser is working .

Second that^ Good luck with the build man:beer:
