I'm looking to replace my old green laser with a high powered Ir Diode so i have a really powerful burning laser. Looking for high powers of 500mw Minimum. Looking for a C-mount diode.
I don't know of anything over 500mW that comes in a 5.6mm can, but I could be wrong. The 500mW 5.6mm diodes are multimode though, so you'll have trouble with getting a good focus.
