Radio Shack Green Laser

[Cysco00]

Hey guys, I bought a radio shack green laser pointer back in the day, when I first wanted a greenie. I had tried to pot mod it and such, but, it never seemed to get more powerful. It now is just laying aroung and I was wondering if anyone on here could take a look at it, measure its power, maybe mod it to be more powerful, even put it in a better host or something. LMK.

Thanks.

I agree with john... It's more trouble than it's worth... you can get a +120mW green for around $60

Cool, thanks for the reply guys. I do have a 95mw green. I just thought there was something that could be done with this diode. Oh well.

Thanks.

Cysco00 --

Which diode are you asking about? The pump diode or the green diode?

Nah...Ive bought two of those radioshack ones in attempts to pot mod, Never works. They are of good quality though.

Hem...I guess both of them....not quite sure what you mean. (still a noob to laser, pardon me!)

The host of this one is trash though, the button only works intermittently. Can it be put in another pen like host? And, if so, will some one do it for me....for a fee of course!

Thanks.
