Help me with my laser please

I've got a 502 nm laser in my collection. Getting one that is 500 nm wouldn't be that difficult to get. Might cost quite a bit depending on who you purchased it from.

lol kecked meant a $500.00 diode by saying 500.00, I would think---no?

I thought he was talking about the price...

Really? I use decimal points in my wavelengths sometimes, that's why I assumed it to be a wavelength.

Again, this is why I thought he was talking about wavelengths. When talking about money I always use the appropriate symbol or outright say it is dollars, pounds or Euros.
 
It didn't look like the driver was attached to anything, so I sent Able this link:

Installing and Testing the SL-SD-1/DX 26110 Driver in a C6 Pill

There has been some discussion and controversy recently about this very popular buck driver for 445nm diodes, many have enjoyed repeated success but some have experienced difficulties. The driver has been widely used in lasers built with the C6, S4, Survival Laser Stainless Steel and other...

Great post.
Help doesn't get any better or more detailed than that on installing a driver into one of your kits! (y)

I once fried an M140 with ESD... those decent-divergence diodes are sensitive as hell until they are built into a laser host

I was going to ask about static- it is a very common silent diode and driver killer.
worse in the winter AFAIK.
once the driver is soldered the risk goes way down-another thing to avoid is overheating--take your time.
.good luck let us know how it goes for you---len

Wasn’t the 1W green up there back in the day?

you know, thats a good question. I got into this hobby in March 2015. im not sure how much they were before then, it would be kind of cool if someone could make a timeline of how much diodes were dating back 10 years ago versus what they are now. prices have dropped so much over the years and honestly I cant see them getting any cheaper, only because they are very affordable now as it is.
