Need A Good Lens for my 650nm lpc-815 build

[LaZeRz]

Could you please reccomend a good lens that will fit into a standard size aixiz module, i would like it preferrably to be glass AR but u know more about this stuff then me so feel free to give me advice

The lens that comes with this module:
5.6mm diode housing w/red laser glass lens [OL1845-RL] - $6.99 : Welcome to O-Like.com, Your source for laser products

 

[LaZeRz]

I already have my module being shipped here , its a standard aixis module but i need a good replacement Glass AR Lens that is cheap and will increase my beam, and output,

anyway i might buy that module for another build that i am going to make involving a computer heatsink with a fan mounted on top using any red module i find and i will be running it at probably about 400mw's or more depending on how much is possible, any clues someone?

Anyway i need a replacement lens that wouldnt cost me a fortune, i will praise anyone with a answer:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown: :wtf: Lol.

UTFSE You can find them for sale here on the forum, and you can also find where to purchase them.

Jayrob, I think, sells his 650-G-1 which is going to give you the most efficiency from that build... So you'd want to PM him; I use that for my high power 650, but thats "only" 300mW

Running an LPC at 400mW; good luck -- let us know how that goes.. I wouldn't expect a lot of life out of the diode at that output... but some folks have gotten lucky.

@LaZeRz
pm QUMEFOX, he has AR lens and will ship fast to USA.
If you want every tiny bit of power, pm JAYROB for the 650-G-1.

Thanks, will probably PM Jayrob about the lens, btw how do you replace the lens inside the plastic lens holder or whatever it is?

Thanks

I tried this 660nm lens.

660nm/405nm PMMA Collimating Lens/M9 P0.5 Frame 2pcs - eBay (item 260555219850 end time Mar-15-11 01:13:32 PDT)

It is AR coated plastic lens for 660nm red. Not bad.
I think it's over the 660nm glass lens. But under 650-G1 or Meredith.

 

[LaZeRz]

the laserlands glass 3 peice AR lens looks good, any1 have any specs on it or any reviews?
, also kinda dumb question but does it fit into a normal aixiz module?

thanks in advance

 

[Leodahsan]

Hmm M9 P0.5 is the aixiz size.

Are these Open Back or do they have the small hole.?

+1 for posting these.

Hi. lazeerer.

I post a pic.
From the left, old plastic--open back plastic--"660nm AR plastic"--660nm glass.
Upper one is 405nm glass for the comparison.

AR tint of "660nm plastic" is bluer than 660nm glass, and 660 glass is somewhat purple.
Not bad quality!

Thanks for the rep.

[lazeerer]

Thank You for the Picture. I just orderd some.

 

[LaZeRz]

Any info on a good cheap lens yet that will increase my power and focus my beam to a really tight beam?

also a lens review if possible would be nice

thanks

$3.40 - 2~5mW Dot Laser Module (3V) - Red Lasers

I ordered these modules twice from DX and to my suprise i recieved them with a AR coated plastic lens thats probably the same as the lens that SHIN linked to. If you need a module and a lens, i'd say pick these up and gut the crappy diode in there.
