Hi everyone,
So recently I have started making my own lasers from parts purchased on eBay. I am fairly new to it and don't have much experience.
This week I ordered/assembled a 405nm 50mw laser, here are all of the parts:
405nm 50mw CW - LD SLD3232VF SONY 'ebay link' (Diode)
405nm 50mw-400mw 'ebay link' (Driver)
16x55mm Focusable Housing Glass 'ebay link' (Housing)
My problem is that when this is fully assembled, the diode seams really weak (Does not seem like a 50mw power). I have made 10mw 405nm lasers in the past and they had much more power then this one.
Have i done something wrong?
Thanks everyone.
