Yes, I know theirs stickys. I wanted exact things to use for this exact beam.
First off, I'm new to this forums, yay! Anyways. I recently purchased a Blu-Ray laser. The seller sold it along in a case with a focus-nose at the end so u can feel the heat over 30ft away. The problem, No circuit. It's just a diode with pre-connected Blue (plus) and red (minus) wires inside a focus case. ITS ONLY A MODULE not a pen. My question, How do I connect this right, and how can I test that the laser I received, works. I thought i read, connecting a safe voltage raw, will actually damage the diode (for DVD burners) and you are safe with a laser driver. So, Can someone recommend me a safe way to power this?
Diode Package Type: 5.6mm
Max Output: ~150mW CW
Max Current: ~110mA
Lase Threshold: ~31mA
Lase Voltage: ~4 volts
Operating Voltage: ~5 volts
Wavelength: ~407.5nm
I want to power this safely so I don't end up finding it dead in 1 week due to a bad un-safe way to wire it. Don't be afraid to give me more advance circuits. I well should have the parts around besides chips. I got many resistors, diodes, and capacitors. Up to 400v 470uf, and 1000V 6A diodes.
And if someone offered a pre-made circuit, I'd love to have the ability to control its power. I DONT WANT TO OVER POWER IT. like 10-150mw, or 0-150mw, you get my idea. I'm not looking at modding to over power. The seller told me it can do 200mw, but will die faster. and its safe-factory rated 150.
Thanks!!!
