A laser diode speaks for itself, thats the actual laser. The aixiz module is just a collimating lens assembly which comes with a weak 5mW diode and we replace with a high power diode.jon_89 said:Maybe I am missing something but what is the difference between a laser module form aixiz laser and a laser diode? I am still going through all the forums here so please bear with me.
780nM is Near IR, so it will be almost invisible. A good first laser would be a red burning laser, or a burning blu-ray laser. Check out the link in my Signature. It has all you need to knowjon_89 said:So would a 780nm 80mw be a good first module. I understand the mw part but I dont fully understand the nm. I do appreciate all the help. ;D
Dr. Lava and Rckstr preset drivers if you ask them too.sad_sagi said:if you get the sony diode to about 200mw power (about 300ma) you can see the beam at night from behind, or in fog in evening/night, ect. its not visible at daytime at all, it needs something dense in the air. its still will make a fun laser.
also, do you have a multimeter that can measure amps or milliamps? it would be useful in testing the power to the diode so it won't burn out and will give you an estimate of light output.
if you don't have a multimeter, you can go the safe way and buy a preset driver (non adjustable)
I'm still learning too. just lucky to have a couple tools needed on hand
For a Senkat diode, it will work great at 350mA, 400mA max.jon_89 said:What is the max milliamps for the sony diode. Yes I "had" a multimeter until it fried when..... :-[
from what I can see, the laser laws really aren't gonna matter where you live, anywhere in the US it's gonna be the same...laserlover said:does anyone know the laws about owning, making, buying, and selling high powered lasers in washington?
