OK, I know its not a very impressive build (I'm pretty sure nearly everyone makes this for their first laser) but I'm proud of it, damn it.
It's a PHR-803T diode. The host is just some crappy Coleman aluminum torch that I sanded for a cooler finish. it's being fed 125ma, but I'm not sure exactly what it outputs. This was a blast to make and it was pretty painless thanks to some LPF members help. I can't wait for my next build... Hopefully it will be a good 10 times more powerful than this
Pictures are crappy because i took them with my computer (my buddy pointed the laser at my computers camera after i finished it and now there is a little violet dot burned into it to forever remind me)
