Hey all,
So I came here looking for a purple laz0r that had a good beam. I've come out looking for a 445nm single-mode laser between 100mW-1W. I have a good idea of how a laser works and all the terminology involved, but I don't know all that much about which exact driver to buy/what is compatible with what ect.
I'm fine with soldering parts together because I may solder things in future projects (I don't even have a soldering iron) but I don't really want to buy a diode press for something I'm only going to do once. So basically I'm looking for a 445nm highish power diode that's been pre-assembled and a compatible driver to go with it. I'm thinking of buying from here because you can't really go wrong with DTR but I just wanted to get some thoughts/information first before I started sinking money into this thing :eg:
