Does anybody have any experience with the 500mW 808nm laser diodes from Stonetek? The datasheet doesn't show anything, so I'd like to hear from anybody that has experience with these diodes. Here's a link: 500mw OEM 808nm 5.6mm diodes ! [Stonetek808_500] - $15.99 : StoneTek Electronics, Your Laser Parts Store
What I'm after is a good operating current, I don't have a LPM to ramp up the current to these things until they hit 500mW so some input would be great.
I've wanted to get into IR for years now but I've never gotten around to it, so this laser would be a good start. And yes, I have IR goggles rated for OD7 at 808nm.
