Regarding high power 445nm diodes where the beam divergence increases/worsens as the power increases:
Question: Does the divergence get significantly worse above a certain wattage such as, above 3W or above 5W?
Or does the divergence get worse (in general) in a even, linear way? For example, the divergence for a 4W diode is twice that for a 2W diode if both are running at full power?
I've been gone from LPF for a while so if anyone has a link to a thread which already answers this question, please link here.
Thank you for your help.
