Hello there!
I am very new in the field in lasers, and have vary little knowledge of them, and I would like some help.
I am working on (paper) project, in which I will need a laser that a focus in the region of 1/10mm to 1/100mm,
and has an instant heat of 240-260 degrees Celsius. (Melting point of polystyrene)
it also needs to be small and light.
I have read that some are using lasers from DVD burners, and "tuning" them to desired specs. Is that something that I can/ should do ?
Or if not, then what ?
At this point, I am not so concerned if it is a DIY job, or an off the shelf laser, both are fine.
