need help to make a long rage IR laser illuminator

[BiG Ze]

hi there,

am newb, looking for help to build an IR laser illuminator :cryyy:

to be honest i know nothing about lasers :undecided: but went thorugh some threads which gave little information on what i need but how to assemble together ???

know am looking to build something to end up like this

am looking for portable 808nm - 200mW adjustable lens torch style host LASER

TO GET STARTED :

i know that i need an IR laser module but, dose the module comes as a set of laser diode , a driver and a heatsink? or what ????? :tired:

for the host : i found this off Ebay...
Adjustable Focusable Housing Case for Laser Pointer Hunting DIY | eBay

will it work with a right laser module ??


I know that am asking a lot but am sure that you are experts in this forum. and i think this would help a lot as i couldn't find no instruction to do IT even in GOOGLE !!! :cryyy:

CAN HELP ME OR DIRECT ME TO THE RIGHT WAY :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

it could work, dont know the sizes of the heatsink and what size module that host takes tho

 

[BiG Ze]

Fiddy,

thanx for the reply..


thats an issue i don know what are the sizes :banghead: it was like an eg.

i think that i saw a thread about you using a beamshot to do an experiment related to the topic. would you direct to a link to it ,

could any one help me on a host and a ir laser module???

No worries,

With the host, you could build one in a C6 host quite easily.

The build will depend on what diode you use, there are lots of IR diodes that are case positive, which is harder to get a driver for.

What i do is use a amc-7135 based driver because those regulator chips are a negative regulators.

here are my threads on IR diodes:

mmmhhhhh,,

nice hint !!!!

ok ,, where to find C6 host ? tried to look @ Ebay but seems that C6 host is not the comercial name of the host :thinking:

now ....

am looking for case nigative 808nm, 200mW Ir diode :thinking:

C6 host :thinking:

amc-7135 based driver :thinking:

could you do me a favor?? :bowdown:

have a look on ebay and direct me to the parts to assemble this project ?? :bowdown:

 

[Fiddy]

Aurora C6, try that.

case negative or case isolated diode.

amc chips are negative regulators which are good for case positive setups, you could also use general linear regulators too.

Ill reccomend you do some reading on these parts
