Ok, after buying several lasers I figured it would be fun and educative to assemble one myself now. Since this will be my first DIY laser, I must admit made it pretty easy for myself by ordering a pre-assembled LD inside an Aixiz module, and a pre-assembled driver. All parts were obtained from Senkat, except the custom heatsink which was ordered from Dark Horse. I'll start working on this baby soon, and track the progress here.
