Hey again everyone, my last post was talking about problems with creating a 300mw laser with one of those cheap laser diodes from eBay. Since then, I've go that working, and have also made a 200ish mw blu-ray laser from a blu-ray sled laser diode. I have pulsed it at like 80Hz with a 555 timer, (for visual effect, not actual purpose)
Basically the blu-ray laser diode is in a housing with a collimating lens meant for a 808nm laser. I have focused it to infinity, and it is fairly clear.
Would investing in a collminating lens for a violet laser make the dot clearer, and more in focus?
