Laser Diode suggestions

[thesimsdude]

Ive recently got a 2.5amp driver from Giannis, its all glued together so i cant reset the potentiometer. Im looking to build another laser with it, with this amperage Id imagine it would have to be pretty high power. I am looking for suggestions for laser diodes preferably green or red color as I already have a blue 445nm wavelength, anyone have something to suggest?

You could put a resistor in series to lower the current to use other diodes. The only green that might stand up to 2.5a would be the NUGM04. I don't think any reds are going to work, especially because they have a lower forward voltage and the current will actually be higher. Any of the blue NUBMxx diodes should work fine.
