Hey guys, I'm new here please be nice
I'm new to lasers I'm looking to make my first DIY laser with a diode from a 16X DVD burner and I have a couple of questions.
The diode is currently connected to 2 AA batteries. When I turn it on it's basically a bright red LED. Do the blank Aixiz housing modules have the right lens or do I need a separate lens? The diode I have is a small 5mm-ish diameter one. Will I need an adapter to place it in the Aixiz housing?
Thanks in advance :thanks:
