Hello, I got a green (532nm) laser a few years ago. It was always working fine. It wasn't as stable as I whish it was but this wasn't a problem. Since a few days I registred a increased amount of instability. I figured out what the switch was really sensitive so even small amounts of movement caused the laser to dim and go bright again by a huge amount. So I decidet to tear it apart to fix the switch. Currently I have it halved, so one half is the laser module and the other the driver and battery case. I can't get the driver out currently. There is just too much glue.
The laser was a 300mW one but has some peaks over 500mW. I connected it to my lab power supply and it worked fine. At about 1A it was at 1,73V and way more stable than powered by a battery. Does somebody know the current I should not exceed? I want to build it in a new housing.
greetings, MrMcChicken
