Hello everyone, i have been consulting this website for many months and i just registered today to ask this question. I am not new to laser but i am to building them. I am getting this driver:
18V 5W Cree Circuit Board for Flashlights (16.8mm*5.5mm) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme
I know it works but i was wondering, how would i get it to power a 1.75w laser diode (445nm). It is preset at 1.25A (other details on the page) I have the host, heatsink, diode, etc figured out but not the driver. I don't want to buy a 1.5-2w diode and only get 1w or watever. Any help is greatly appreciated.
PS: If you are going to recommend a different driver, if you could find one in the exact same size, that would be AWESOME! :yh:
