hy........i'm on this forum for about one year but mostly of the time inactive and i haven't time till now to built any laser so i have decided to do one
I have red almost all forum and decided to make DDL's driver which is done and working very well (tnx for this driver....it costed me about 3$ to make it).First LD that i drived was very old LD tahat i got free from my friend (it was 4x or 8x LD i still don't know).....i accidentally hooked it up on charged cap by putting A-metar in circuit an that was fatal for it.(my bad) .....this weekend comes new LD ;D from dvd burner 16x or 18x (i still don't know it is friends burner and i am going to buy it from him).
And the thing i don't know for sure is how much current i can let through the 16x diode and how much through 18x (pls write also for 20x and 22x) because someones says that u can easily put through 16x 250 mA and others are say'n that they can easily handle 280-300mA (of course im asking this when a good heatsink is used.....and im counting on relatively long LD's life)
I will post some pictures after i pass this ten posts
