OK, so I made myself a new laser, after my old one went cactus, and for some reason, now my new laser diode looks all odd.
I'm not sure what the problem is here, so I have attached my picture of what I see.
It may be the fact that I have only flush mounted the diode, but that's what I did with my old diode... so, I'm at a loss.
Thanks for taking time to read this, any help is greatly appreciated!
(Also, when focused as close to a dot as possible, there is a bright dot, but a line going through that dot?!)
