Hello, Im a new member here with a fair amount of electronics background, Ive looked around a bit on these forums and cant seem to find any guides for constructing a 200mw or higher laser and have a few questions about the subject.
I apologies in advanced for the n00bness of my questions
1. it seems that green LD's don't get that powerful and it is necessary to "pump" the green color from an IR "open can"? is this true or am i just totally off?
2. is the reason i cant find much info on this because its just too much of a pain in the butt to do this?
3. even if i can find a good tut, it seems most places sell parts geared towards sub 200mw greenies. are there any good online stores?
4. how much will 200-250mw green laser cost (im prepared to spend about 400 bucks on materials)
5. is 532nm the best to get for green? so far its the only part of the green spectrum i have been able to find as far as LDs go.
Thanks in advance!
