Hi all, I recently put together my first blu ray pointer using one of daedal's GB diodes. Soldered together a driver circuit, and gave it all a nice handheld home. But I have a question. As you can see from the picture, theres a faint yellow glow around the dot. Has anyone else experienced this?
Could the laser diode be damaged somehow? Like from too much power to run it but not enough to burn it out? I was very careful to use only just enough power to get the diode to start lasing but I fear I screwed it up anyway.
Thanks everyone
