Hi Everyone, First time poster here,
I am gathering parts for a 3W build using a flashlight host and a diode/driver/lens setup from DTR's laser shop.
445nm 9mm Diode In Copper Module W/2.4A X-Drive & Three Element Glass
It is listed at 3W, just curious, what in the diode determines how much power it can handle?
can a 3w diode be pushed to 4 or 5w with a higher amperage driver?
Sorry for the newb questions, this is my first build.
Also, Thank you to Jordan at DTR's for all of the help previous to this. He has been awesome.
