Its been a long time before i made another build. I made another green laser, i found enough time to make another one! Took me a while tough as it kept breaking and condensing. And i had to machine all the parts including the host.
This is a very bright 532nm stainless steel green laser pen, with 7 optics inside it (a shit ton for its size, i know) to make the beam as round as possible, and filter the IR out. I made it so, its actually a flashlight, the beam gets bigger instead of infinity.
It is watertight, fog-proof and shockproof. The fog-proof part means, the internal lenses won't condensate between a temperature of -40 Celsius and 120 Celsius, kinda like military sniper scopes. I had to make the lens cavity airtight (even around the diode!) and trap dry air inside it, not easy.
Shockproof, it can be attached to an firearm. And can be thrown in the water.
It weights about 85 grams, which is pretty heavy, but its solid as a tank.
In the pictures, you can see, its not very big, about 11centimeters long and 14millimeters in diameter. It uses a 10280 lithium battery
It has 2 circuit boards, a LM358 driver and a battery management circuit. I also made a heavy bracket which goes on top of the battery, with two o-rings between them. This makes the lasers weight feel distributed and in case water gets in, it won't go into the vent of the battery.
Bottom line, it feels like a tank and is outstandingly bright.
