Hi Everyone!
A while back a purchased a cheap 405nm handheld laser on ebay. The laser it self was not too powerful but the host was much to my liking (Laser 301 body). Long story short, I accidentally put the 3.7V battery in reverse and quickly learned that this driver did not have RP protection. I didn't want to throw this laser away so I did a disassembly and removed the drive/diode and heatsink (picured below)
My plan is to reuse this host and replace the driver/diode and hopefully improve the optics.
The driver is 10.5mm x 17.0mm. I'm not sure of the diode size.
The barrel / shaft diameter is 13.0mm
I'm not sure of my options with the optics either, would appreciate some help with that!
Thanks,
Frozen
