Cool, its like the highest power pen style laser there is except for the ebay ones that put out 20mw green and 150mw ir ;D
...lazer... ;D ;D ;D

Yep, pretty much. Perhaps if you make everything out of copper and make the case a little thicker and practical for heat dissipation, but that would entail a lot of work! Right now you have a 500mW pump producing a good 1.5W+ of heat in that little uncooled laser body. You get that diode too warm and not only do you get a poor efficiency/quality output, but you shorten the diodes life severly.darklandz said:is a 500mw pump diode the biggest u can squeeze into a pen-style cni pointer? or is it possible with 1W diodes but heat becomes the problem?
