Hello everybody!
Chris here! I'm new to laser tech, but have some time for projects again and am
jumping in with both feet. Decided to build a engraver/cnc.
I found these two books which seemed a good place to start learning the dirty
details:
Haiyin Sun
A Practical Guide to Handling Laser Diode Beams (SpringerBriefs in Physics)
2nd Edition
Haiyin Sun
Laser Diode Beam Basics, Manipulations and Characterizations (SpringerBriefs in Physics)
2,012 Edition
And, I've picked up a IPG PLD-30-974 diode to start building around:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/322867615704
The fiber is cleaved and I know nothing about fiber repair, but am hoping it
might be an excuse to use some 200,000 grit diamond dust I have.
Once repaired, I'm guessing the head would consist of a collimator at the fiber
termination followed by a focusing lens?
any tips on finding high-wattage, optics? reinforcing the fiber?
Thanks!
