WTB Blu ray Laser

[Ethator]

im looking to buy a Blu ray laser. all i care is that its portable, i dont care what the power output is. im only looking to spend around $100 USD so what ever i can get for that price would be great.

i was going to jump on the Blu Ray GB here but after reading about how fragile the diodes are i really dont want to take the chance until i have some DIY laser experience.

Let me know if this can be done at this cost.

I can do you one in a pen size for $80. or in a box for $70.
PM me

 

[Ethator]

the prices are great! just a few questions:

for that price what kind of power am i looking at? and for both styles what are the batteries used and whats the duty cycle going to be (if any)?

Im not being picky i just want to be informed before i spend money.

Thanks

Hey BluefFusion that $80 in a pen sounds pretty good! What is the approx output power? i have a mini only a little biger than the AA cel that powers it, but ~2-3 mW so it has some drawbacks. Thanks!

 

[BlueFusion]

I did too.
Since drlava's reports indicate 7mw is a safe level (or more accurately 40mA) I will use 40ma for all of them, estimate around 7-12mw and individual graphs and reports will be provided. This offer is open to anyone and due to parts ordering the wait is less if I get more orders at once!

any picts of the pen size host? sounds tempting

 

[goldfingerfif]

Yeah pen is tempting

oooo Pen size blue... Just what I have been looking for... Pictures please!!!!!!!

 

[Ethator]

from what he told me the pen style is in a DX 5mw green housing

I'll have some 5+mW adjustable power pointers next week if you are still interested.
Here is what they look like. http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1203200842
Maybe we can come to a deal. PM me.

Give us some details like Ethator mentioned, batteries Duty cycle, etc. What circuit do you use to reg. power? Do you have a working unit? Show us plzzzz.

Thanks--RR

I don't have one but i would if someone would order one

Yes it is in the DX 5mw green. Just imagine one emitting violet.

Takes 2 REGULAR AAAs instead of some which take fiddly 10440s.
I use a circuit of my own design to regulate current to an appropriate level after doubling voltage.
Duty cycle I decide on a laser by laser basis but its usually fairly close to 100% on.

hey blue arents the DX pen lasers case + and the diode case - how do you keep them from shorting out?
