ok so ive been reading these forums for a couple weeks now and have decided to make my own laser, since i live in Australia and it is illegal to import them. i dont have much experience with lasers, or laser making so i am hoping that maybe someone is willing to help.
so far i have bought an Aixiz housing, this one and am not sure what to do next. im hoping to make a portable laser which is about 650nm and about 200-400mW. I also want it to last for a while. I only want it this powerfull so i can see the beam good not to burn things, etc. ive heard that the beams on the reds arnt that great compared to the greens. if 200mW is too much plz let me know.
i would be appreciative if someone could help us out with things such as a good laser diode to get, good housing for the laser to be portable, and extra things such as drivers (as i dont really know what they are/how they work) to stop the diodes from burning out quickly. also if i have missed any important parts to making a laser could u please add them in your post.
thankyou, all help is apreciated.
