Hello, it's Nick from Houston (anyone else here rep houston?) Any way, I own a 5mw green dx cheapo, a lot of red lasers, a 50mw green laser from led-shoppe.com.
I want to change it up though and build my own violet laser. Ive done a lot of reading here and it seems one of the cheaper violet diode options is the PHR-803T. Is this good to start building with? As its only ~$20 in the module I don't think its much of a gamble. I have a few questions, however.
If I buy this 405nm PHR-803T Blu Ray Diode in Aixiz Laser Module Housing [PHR-803T in Aixiz module] - $19.83 : High Tech DealZ, Simplifying the LASER Hobby! all that would be left to do is buy and set the driver (1) and get the power supply?
1. Is there a way to set a driver without a dummy load? Or should I just go with one preset to 100-120ma? (any reccomedations?)
