Ouch! That's too bad. Might as well use the 44 as this diode, then.

yes its correct i only got 1 long time ago and gave up when doing some test and got more 44 from dtr :friend:Ouch! That's too bad. Might as well use the 44 as this diode, then.
I used it the diversity is worst then NDB7875, its almost the same as 44 maybe just 0.5mm smaller
DTR, took the picture long time ago.
I picked up a LPM from astralist and ran a few tests. One thing I found is that the output is greatly affected by the temperature of the laser. It's rather warm in my house this time of year, so I got a max of 5.7 watts which slowly but steadily fell as it got hotter. Wondering if the converse would also be true, I placed the laser in the freezer for 20 minutes and ran the test again which shot up to 6.9 watts. While I won't be doing that again, I was shocked to see that kind of difference in power with the temperature difference.
IMO, with this knowledge, then an LPM recording video (even with professional/branded LPM) can be invalid if the laser's seller managed to keep the laser in a freezer before recording a measurement of the laser, right????
One can sell a claimed 10W 450nm laser, validated with videos of (several) LPM recording,
but then turns out it's only 7W when operating in a room temperature :crackup:
Update.
After talking with laser pointer store I got some more details and confirmed that the diode is the NDB7A75 3.5W, which has no problem pushing past 5W with no issues. The lens installed is also the G7 lens, and the more I use this laser, the more I like it. The focusing ring system is extremely adjustable and works without unscrewing the head from the laser and exposing the diode.
I don't understand your stating that the laser is able to be focused without unscrewing the head? Of course it does. There would be a problem if it didn't.
The ultra has a ring that moves the lens and does not unscrew the head.
