Hey everyone! I build my first laser about two weeks ago..but I haven't had the chance to post it. Here goes!
I have my PHR diode in an aixiz module, with a rkcstr driver I set at 120mA.(if anyone could tell me the milliwatts I'm getting out of it at this current, I'd really appreciate it.) I have a radioshack switch, and a rechargeable 9v. So far, it's going strong, with a very visible beam, about as much as my red. It lights matches instantly, pops balloons, you know, all ze laser tricks. I have it in an altoids can, and on a duty cycle of 30 seconds on, 10 seconds off. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied for a first build
I'll have pics up soon, I have major studying to do tonight. But I'll have em up tomorrow! Hopefully...
By the way, the camera I have picks up blu-ray as REALLY blue. But in reality, it's a rich violet.
P.S. pictures were taken before the LED was added.
