650-660nm Mits laser diodes

Isaac, price, I guess. These are for a different build, the FASTTECH one that costs about $15.00 in parts if you include the rechargeable battery. I have different drivers coming for these LPC-840 builds.
 





yeah i just wanted a cheap option compared to the current ~$20 bucks a driver (i miss mohrenberg :C) Have a bunch of lpc826s that need a home.
 
Yeah, I've got a couple of those, a couple of LPC-836s ,three LPC-840s, two ML501P73-02, and ten ML101U29-25s. Those are just my reds. LOL, Paul
 
Of course! They are all in parallel. That would short out the whole unit. I've got to start getting up earlier on Sundays. I should have caught that. Thanks, Lightning Stalker.
 
Mine are out for delivery today, so, yeah, they are a pretty good company. Newgazer is also one of their companies.
 
please let us know how they perform. i'll be driving mine with a flex. not sure what current yet. or what host to put it in - i'm looking.
techood has seen many dollars from me and i was always more than pleased with their products and service.

I should pick one of these up. Ive had several of the LPC-8## diodes, but have killed them due to overdriving :na:
i picked up these not too long ago and have been playin around with them. Its nice to have a bunch of diodes to experiment with, and better yet, being able to know if you pop one its no big deal since they are only 3$ a piece :D
 
Are these LPC826 diodes? 816?

IsaacT, neither. They are ML101U29-25 and can be had any day ten for $29.99. On a lighter note, I have two LPC-840s in my hot little hands! YEAY!!!!!!!! I will be testing them when I get a chance to do it, but have a lot of irons in the fire right now.
 
Need advice ..... I have a Mitsubishi ML101U29-25 400mW 5.6mm 660nm Red Laser.
is it possible to use a battery straight to the laser diode to max out the diode to 400mW with out using the driver. what kind of battery would be needed to get max output.

:)

Ghost8, no, you cannot. That diode is a 660nm LD that has a maximum CW power of 300mW. You need to drive it with a buck driver, or at least a linear driver. The forward voltage is about 2.3 VDC and the current needs to be set around 250mA, or maybe a bit higher if you want to push the diode to it's highest power output. Good luck. At least these are pretty cheap diodes.

no you can not you need a driver since laser diodes use A not W or V
you will blow up the diode :)
