Re: **Closed Accepting Payments!** Official GB: LPC-815 Sleds $4.45 300mW Red Laser D
I have just dissembled one.
There is a partially transparent mirror for each of the two diodes, a lens to focus them on another mirror, it angles the beam onto another lens suspended between two magnets.
The IR diode have a small lens glued onto the heatsink, it looks like a half-cylinder lens, likely to turn it from bar to dot.
The red diode is facing a tiny lens mounted in the sled.
The laser detector hiding behind the semitransparent mirrors have it's own tiny lens.
None of it appear to be of any use in a pointer.
I just cobbled together a driver adjustable from 100-500mA.
I assume the diode can handle up to 500mA safely with good heatsinking?
So does anyone have a breakdown of all the goodies in this sled? The magnets will be useful, but I'm interested in the optics and stuff too.
